A film is sort of binary - it either works or it doesn't work. It has nothing to do with how good a job you do. If you bring it up to an adequate level where the audience goes with the movie, then it works, that is all.

It's better to do a film that works.

I believe that if your film is good, and if you are good, you will do well.

Films work due to scripts, characters, and what you see on screen.

I prefer to believe it's my responsibility if a film of mine works or doesn't work.

There are many applications for which film is going to be better, for a very long time.

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.

Sometimes films might not work, but you as an actor should keep working. Because no matter how much you panic about how your film didn't work, eventually, when you step out in the real world, there are people who value you as an artist.

It's funny, though, with films, because you can incorporate a variety of elements, and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.
