My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
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.
When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.
Making movies is both entirely ludicrous and incredibly hard. It's a preposterous way to spend your time. You give up a lot for the privilege of doing it, and one of the things you get are relationships of immense trust that you see forged in situations of immense stress.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.
In truth, making films doesn't feel like hard work because I always have such a good time doing it.
It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.
