If I wasn't a film-maker, I'd be a film critic. It's the only thing I'd be qualified to do.

I still think like a critic, and I still analyze films like a critic. However, it's not possible to write criticism if you're making films.

It's difficult for one filmmaker to criticize another. That's a job best left to critics.

I really think of myself just as a filmmaker.

I view filmmaking as a director's medium.

If I weren't a director, I would want to be a film composer.

If I weren't an actor, I'd either be a teacher or a critic.
