My big goal in life was always to figure out how I can make a lot of money so I can go off and make films irrespective of the opinion of the three or four critics who seem to rule the roost.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
Right now the thing that I have learned the most is to be grateful that I have finally gotten to a point where I am being paid to make films, after eight years.
I try to make my fans happy by working hard in every film of mine, and I give my films everything I've got.
I'm not making films for critics, I'm making films for people to go out and enjoy.
In my career, my movies tend to polarize critics.
There were very, very large sums of money that I made when I was very young - 15 million published works and a great many successful movies don't make nothin'.
Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.
I didn't start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets.
To think one film makes a career is ridiculous. It's important to keep perspective and do things other than for money.
