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 think making a film that you think is good and you believe in is going to be difficult forever.

The thing I really love about film is there's a really big sense of teamwork, and everyone has to do their job to the best of their ability to make the film work in the first place.

What's great about making movies is the sort of additive process of bringing people together and having an idea and watching the idea be added to and at the end you have this thing.

I like the feeling of making things. It's very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you're forced to collaborate with so many people. You're involved in the beginning to end, you're involved with so many elements, and when it's done, you're like, 'I made this movie.'

Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.

Making a film is like making a mixtape. You're collecting all this stuff and putting your favorite stuff into it: you have actors that you like, characters that you're interested in, moments you want to explore, themes you want to deal with, music that you want to put in. It's a pastiche of all these things that deal with how you see the world.
