I would put my pictures up against anybody's in this world. Certainly in my own day I bow to no one. I don't think there's another director in the world who works harder to make better films than I do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After directing movies, I respect any director in this world, because making a movie as a director is tons and tons of work.
I think I would have a better time writing films rather than directing.
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.
Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.
If I never do another movie, I will have had the privilege of working on one of the big Hollywood movies with top people, creating a world that can only be described as totally cinematic.
I am definitely writing letters to lots of directors in my mind when I'm making a film. I'm chasing Woody Allen and Godard and Milos Forman and all these people.
I have no interest in directing. I'd be a bad director.
I would be a terrible director, I could never write anything. One of my great strengths is that I know all of my weaknesses.
I couldn't be a director because I couldn't put up with the actors. I don't have the patience. Why, I'd probably kill the actors. Not to mention some of the beautiful actresses.
