I internalize everything, keep everything inside. I'm not used to spilling my guts, and when you have to do that on film to make a point, it's hard. It's rough. I don't think it's as easy as people think.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Before I made a film, I thought it was easy.
I put so much pressure on myself to raise the bar with each and every project. I treat it like every film is my last, and I make sure I pour everything I have into every film I make because if I'm not trying to improve, someone else will.
Making movies is really hard. It's the hardest thing I've ever done.
I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.
Film-making is a physically hard job.
If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.
I try to cover myself, to have another movie under way before the last one comes out. I've been able to just scrape by, holding out for good parts instead of taking anything.
I'm proudest of the fact that I've been able to make a few movies in the studio system that are slightly unorthodox and personal. But it's never quite as easy as you dream that it could be.
Everyone I've worked with on any film will say I'm the hardest worker.
In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
