The films I've done with all my heart have gone on to become huge hits. When I set out to do a 'mass masala' intending to please B and C centres, it bombs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
See, 'A Time to Kill' was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
Every film that I have done has a special place in my heart.
I am so picky about what films I get myself into because it's such an explosion of energy and commitment once you get in there, you destroy your life until you deliver these films. I never want to be in the position of making films that won't be a great use of 90 minutes of someone's life.
I've been lucky enough to do a few films that will last longer than an opening weekend and those films are the ones I'm proud of.
In terms of my own film experience, I'm definitely used to morose and very heavy, heavy dramas.
Every time I do a movie, I think it's going to be a huge hit.
I always fight hard to push a movie to the point where it pulls me.
Yeah, 'Requiem for a Dream' - it'll put you off a lot of things, that film, that's for sure.
Every movie I touched bombed.
God help me if I ever do another movie with an explosion in it. If you see me in a movie where stuff is exploding you'll know I've lost all my money.
