I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.

I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.

I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.

I love making movies. But it's a lot of investing your heart and soul. It can be exhausting.

I like making movies for myself and my friends and people with my sensibility.

Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.

I like the feeling of making things. It's very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you're forced to collaborate with so many people. You're involved in the beginning to end, you're involved with so many elements, and when it's done, you're like, 'I made this movie.'

My purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness.

It's nice when you're working in Hollywood and there's a movie you'd like to see that no one is making anymore. You make it yourself.
