You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

Once you have made the decision to do the film, once you have identified the desire and all the deep and personal, intimate, artistic reasons why you want to do the film, then it's more a matter of how to do things.

When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.

There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It's not my favorite way to work.

Whenever you do a film for the wrong reasons, it may or it may not pan out. Sometimes people do it because it is a good move or the right move. I don't know; maybe one day I will do a film for the wrong reasons, and it will work for me.

The only reason why you should do a film is because it creatively carbonates you and gets you going. If you're doing it for any other reason, you've lost sight of why you're acting in the first place.

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

If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.

When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.

Obviously, after every film you do, you wonder what you're going to do next.
