I have no schooling in any normal sense but have learned from the best as far as just doing things. I learned filmmaking from loving movies and then just saying, 'OK, let's do it.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.
I've learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven't been allowed to engage in yet.
I think everything that you do, you're learning. I mean, every movie that you make is like a film school; that's one of the things that I enjoy about filmmaking.
I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.
Film schools didn't exist when I was growing up. I learned by working with clever people. Good writers and cinematographers.
Most of all, I really wanted to become a filmmaker, and I've used every acting experience to just turn it into film school.
The thing is, making movies as an actress, you learn so many things. Like when you're making a movie with Quentin Tarantino you're just at the best cinema school ever.
That's easy to answer: I never had any special appetite for filmmaking, but you have to make a living and it is miraculous to earn a living working in film.
Going to film school taught me how much I already knew, and that the best way to learn about film is being on the set with professionals.
Film is something I've always loved since I was very young. In fact, I actually wanted to study to be a filmmaker when I was younger.
