Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

You've got to keep taking certain risks, because my priority is in acting, it's not in movie stardom.

There are certain filmmakers I'd like to work with that I don't think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It'll take a couple films to prove to them that it's worth the risk.

Well, the studios don't really want to take those risks right off the bat. They'll take the risk after they've seen the finished product and say oh yeah we want that. This is a great film but they are hesitant to take the risk when you just see it on paper.

I don't think I ever take huge risks, though I'm not scared of doing so.

I'm a bit of a pessimist, oh yeah, and I always think the film I'm about to make is going to be a disaster.

I am not going to do a film based on a bad scenario just to make a big Hollywood film or work with Hollywood stars.

You always worry before your movie opens that no one is going to come out.

With every film that you do, you're always so nervous. You feel exposed because you know people will see this eventually. You sort of have to put all that out of your head. What will be will be. But it's nerve wracking.
