Sometimes you learn more from films that aren't terribly successful and, indeed, sometimes you learn more from real disasters than you do from the ones that succeed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success.
Somewhere after you have few successful films, there is a fear of losing what you have got. It is very easy in the beginning, as you are a risk taker, have nothing to lose, and there is no perception about you.
Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.
Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.
When I go out to direct a film, every day we prepare too much, we think too much. Knowledge becomes a weight upon wisdom. You know, simple words lost in the quicksand of experience.
Successful films are very dangerous things.
When my films don't do well, I'm hurt and surprised. It's discouraging.
You learn more when things go wrong.
You learn as much from doing a bad film as a good one.
