Making a film is beyond exciting. It's so exciting, it's exhausting.

It takes a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of focus and dedication to do a film, and it's just not worth it if you're going to be miserable for even a day.

Film-making is a physically hard job.

Film-making is not liberating. It drains a lot out of you, and it's fulfilling only temporarily. It's a very thankless thing at times. When you're spending all that time on a film, you don't want 40,000 people to see it - it's just not enough. You dream of more.

For a film to be viable, it has to survive this process of scrutiny. I think most filmmakers have obsessive-compulsive tendencies and would be completely unemployable in any other job - so it's great to be able to channel your psychological anomalies into something productive and creative.

I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.

Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.

The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.

I love making movies. But it's a lot of investing your heart and soul. It can be exhausting.

In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
