I don't consider myself a very good talker or writer but a pretty good filmmaker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always considered myself a filmmaker who writes stuff for himself to do.
I really think of myself just as a filmmaker.
If you want to tell stories, be a writer, not a filmmaker.
I was always a filmmaker before I was anything else. If I was always anything, I was a storyteller, and it never really made much of a difference to me what medium I worked in.
There's got to be something you want to tell and that's the engine which spurs all of the work you have to do in order to create the story, but you have to love some sort of nugget of what you're telling to be a filmmaker.
As a writer, or as a filmmaker, you have to present yourself, and part of what yourself is is what you're interested in, or what you think is funny, or what you think is sad, or what you think is horrible.
Ultimately, I am very filmmaker oriented, as a producer.
I think, as a filmmaker, it's important to be honest with yourself at all times in terms of what's working and what's not.
I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.
I'm not the greatest reader. I feel like I have a bit of dyslexia or something, and that's probably why I became a filmmaker. I have the need to communicate, the need to tell stories; and the need to understand stories led me to movies.
