Movies are a collaboration, I feel, so I didn't think of myself as an authoritative figure as much.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.
Every time I make a movie, I'm prepared for it to become influential and career-defining - but I have no control over these things.
I tend not to go look at movies before I make a movie. I'd rather not be specifically influenced.
I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.
I think people respect my work, but I was never in one of those movies that made me a star.
I didn't really get involved too heavily with being an actual film person.
Your relationship to a film, and to cinema, is very much determined by yourself, so what is relevant is you.
I don't approach films purely in context of genre.
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
Film is a collective experience, as you know.
