Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.

And in movies you must be a gambler. To produce films is to gamble.

Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?

There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.

Cinema is gambling. It is better to gamble on a unique film even if it seems like suicide.

Making movies is both entirely ludicrous and incredibly hard. It's a preposterous way to spend your time. You give up a lot for the privilege of doing it, and one of the things you get are relationships of immense trust that you see forged in situations of immense stress.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.

I think filmmaking is a gamble anyway, right? You never know the results from the start.

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.
