If you invent the Mini Cooper, pour all your energy and passion into it and it gets made, you should be on a roll. In the film industry you have to start again the next day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want a Mini-Cooper because it's fuel efficient, emissions efficient and all that stuff. It's small and better for the environment. I think that will be my next car.
I've been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I've financed myself.
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
One of the most fun inventions of my lifetime is the Mini.
I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.
As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
Make films whenever and however you can - don't take no for an answer.
The truth about filmmaking is you have all these ideas and you're trying to convince everybody that they should buy into this idea, but at two o'clock in the morning when you're all on your own you're going, 'Geez, I hope I know what I'm doing. I hope this idea is gonna work.'
There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films.
Making movies is never going to get better than working on a Coen brothers project.
