My responsibility is to make a film and find my dramatic language; I don't have any political or social responsibility.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I feel that I have a responsibility to help the film and I have relations with the studio and with those who put up the money so that I can tell a story that I believe in.
As a producer you have creative control, and that's what is so exciting about it. At the end of the day, if you have made a film it's totally your responsibility, and if it works it's your responsibility and if it doesn't it's also your responsibility.
So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.
I prefer to believe it's my responsibility if a film of mine works or doesn't work.
When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.
I have a very strong political outlook, and that is something I'd like to take more responsibility for in my life. I don't believe in utilising certain aspects of the power I have with celebrity to push that forward, but I would like to make some films that address some of those political issues.
If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
I feel like there's such a responsibility, when you make a film, to enlighten people, to make them think, to make them laugh, or even just to be entertaining.
