I'm an artist, and I like the risk - I'm not in it for the sure things.

I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.

If you're an artist, it's OK to put your money into your art. The advantage, in hindsight, is that you become the film, and the film becomes you; you breathe it.

Film is the toughest one for me, as there are many fingers in the pot, so it can be disappointing. However, to have your work seen on such a large scale, that's a very exciting prospect.

I just want to make one really good movie a year. And when I die, to know I was honest as an artist.

The only way you can continue to make artistic films is to make an occasional one of those. They kind of keep your marketability going to the extent that people will employ you.

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.

I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.

Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
