As a filmmaker, you aspire to want to make movies that can hopefully stand the test of time, but you never know when that will happen or if that will happen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I started making films, like almost every filmmaker, I think, you're just so excited to be able to make a movie that you'll do anything.
You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.
You just can't make any movie and it will be good now. This is a really a difficult time to be in films.
But it's true, it's nothing new that decisions about what movies are to be made, and how they're to be made, and who's to be hired to do what, and whether you hire somebody to do their job, or whether you hire somebody to fill a position and you tell them what to do.
I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good.
Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.
There's a level of sophistication of filmmaking that's mind-boggling. Anything you need for your movie, there's an establishment that can make it happen really fast.
I never know going in if I've even got a movie to make. Once you start making a film, you hope there's going to be enough material! My job as a director is always to push for more.
I long to make films. I'm dying to be inside the next film. I always hope there will be another film.
Make films whenever and however you can - don't take no for an answer.
