It's a hard line to walk, man. Cause you know you want to make this movie, you want to make it dark and real, you want to show all this stuff but unfortunately you can't always do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.
Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
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.
Just making a good movie is hard to do.
Making a movie is like an accelerated version of growing up with someone. You spend so many hours a day with each other, and you're putting your heart into this same effort.
There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.
You don't want to make a movie just to make a movie. You better have a point of view.
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 not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating.
The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.
