I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's about being true to my artistry, which I've been doing. It's super important to do smart films.
I'm just following my own art, and I just think that the only thing I can do to be a great artist is do the best job I can in whatever movie I do.
I maintain that if you're a novelist and you go into an art museum, you'll come out a better novelist. And if you paint a picture for an hour you're a better actor at the end of it.
You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.
Film is a very collaborative medium. If you're smart enough, you learn how to maintain your vision while drawing resourcefully from all the people around you.
I just see myself as a guy who's trying to make a film or, make art.
I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.
The only thing approaching art in a movie is the script.
It's not that there aren't people who care creatively in the world of television, but there's always a bit more time in making a movie. I always feel films are more of a creative journey.
The fun part about doing our movies is that you're creating something using the talents of people rather than finding these pathetic people who are thrust into these situations. That, to me, is completely artless.
