What I learned is, don't forget who you are, because that's what's going to make you a filmmaker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned that you have to say that you're a filmmaker. You're not a screenwriter; you're not a director for hire. You've got to take charge. You're a filmmaker, and you're going to make a film.
I really think of myself just as a filmmaker.
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
When I was young, my idea was to become a filmmaker.
I don't necessarily see myself as an experienced filmmaker just because I've been in a few movies.
I decided to be a filmmaker when I was 12. I had utter clarity that this would be my life.
I thought I was going to be a filmmaker but at the same time I was an intellectual and I felt that I could make a contribution to some field, as yet, not invented.
Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.
I learned so much about being an actor by being a director. More than I ever thought I would.
I'm not educated as a filmmaker, so it's quite a jump for me.
