There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There was a time - before I made movies - when I was more forgiving, but now that I've learned as much as I have, I want to do movies that I want to see, that have their own unique flavor.
When you're so passionate about cinema, the idea to direct your own film is really appealing.
What I love about film is that everybody often connects to something so different, and things you couldn't anticipate when you were making the film, so you just make it as honest as possible.
You have to realize I like doing big movies that appear on a big screen. So the visuals and the audio have to be of a certain quality before I start to get excited about the thing.
I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.
There are certain films you want to see on the big screen.
I don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.
Cinema is an art form that is designed to go across borders. And as a filmmaker, the only way I can direct a movie is when I feel close to my culture.
I feel lucky that I always have a number of films to choose from. I would like to come out of my comfort zone while doing various roles, and I don't want to keep repeating my characters.
When you make a movie, you can only make the movie that you would want to see.
