Film wise, I invariably look at my work and reckon I could have done it better. I'm also conscious that I'm in a profession where we get more praise than we should compared to the usefulness of what we do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're a filmmaker, and every time you finish a film, you just naturally go, 'Oh, I could have done so much better,' that's not much fun, is it, really? You might as well go pick another profession if that really is how you derive satisfaction from it.
What I do on film is part of my profession.
Working on a film is so great because you have the luxury of more time when you're on a movie than when you're on television.
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.
I like to rate myself as a performer upfront, both in films as well as in television.
Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.
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.
Once I finish shooting a film, I usually sit on it to see how we can make it better.
I view filmmaking as a director's medium.
Right now the thing that I have learned the most is to be grateful that I have finally gotten to a point where I am being paid to make films, after eight years.
