A film is a terrible thing to waste.

You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.

If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.

Well that's the point: People don't normally take away things from films anymore. You go and see a $100 million film, half an hour later, your biggest concern is what are you going to be eating.

Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.

I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.

I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.

Why do I continue making movies? Making movies is better than cleaning toilets.

If studios don't get their money back, we don't have any movies. So it is important that films are successful, and I am fully supportive of that because I'm not just a director, I'm also not stupid. I've been in this business long enough and, to a certain extent, I'm a businessman; I know the importance of that.

On a low-budget film, you don't have all the luxuries.
