The success of one film may convince the filmmaker to try repeat his successes and get into a competition with himself. One cannot dwell on periodic successes. You have to look at it as a temporary, passing thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If a film is not a success, then that's just the way things are. Nothing I can do can make a difference. I have stopped worrying about it.
My film directorial career has been nothing but repetition of one failure after another!
There are so many factors that go into having a successful movie.. too many that you can't control.
If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else.
A film has its own life and takes its own time.
Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.
When you do one movie at a time, if one goes crazy and becomes successful, your life changes. But you can step back and catch your breath.
I am not interested in churning out a certain number of films every year. For me, it's about the quality of work. I think it's about following your instincts and doing a film for the right reason.
When a film is successful, you don't need to shout about it from the rooftops. I don't believe in going into overdrive. There's no desperation to be acknowledged as the reason for a film's success.
To be successful for a moment because of one movie doesn't mean anything.
