Being a filmmaker is kind of like being a glorified spy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.
I think one of the privileges of being a filmmaker is the opportunity to remain a kind of perpetual student.
For me, being a director is about watching, not about telling people what to do. Or maybe it's like being a mirror; if they didn't have me to look at, they wouldn't be able to put the make-up on.
I'm not the kind of filmmaker who's going to go from one thing to the next. I often wish I was that filmmaker, but I'm just not.
You can mix in certain sensitivities as a filmmaker.
What I learned is, don't forget who you are, because that's what's going to make you a filmmaker.
It's easy to make a film, but it's hard to make a career of being a filmmaker.
I've always considered myself a filmmaker who writes stuff for himself to do.
Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies, but as a life.
I really think of myself just as a filmmaker.
