Every time you do something, people are going to like it, people are going to hate it. You tend to make the movies on the basis you are making them for the people who are going to like them and not worrying too much about people who don't like them.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

If my film does not do well, it really hurts me. But by God's grace, even if some of my films may not have done well, people have still liked my work in it.

As a viewer, I never want any movie ruined for me, no matter what the genre is.

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.

I've learned that you can never predict what will happen to a film. You can never predict if people will love it, if they'll hate it. It's an act of ego if you're hoping for everyone to love the film and tell you how great you are.

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.

I want people to come see my films and enjoy them but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.

Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.
