You must not demand the failure of your peers, because the more good things that are around in film, in television, in theater - why the better it is for all of us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Failure worries me; nobody wants to fail. There is a fear that one day, films will not come my way, or if someone doesn't watch your film, that is a worrying point. It is unpredictable in the industry.
I never feel any pressure about a film. What is meant to happen will happen. I have seen failure as well as success several times.
You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so.
For me, utter failure is to make a film that people pay their money to go see and they don't like.
The film industry has been extremely welcoming to me. It's an industry which is biased to what they think is talent. If they think you can bring value to cinema, they'll support you.
If you look at the movies that come out, most of them are bad, so it's not as if achieving some level of success means you get offered better roles, because frankly they don't seem to exist.
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.
My main concern is theater, and theater does not reflect or mirror society. It has been stingy and selfish, and it has to do better.
Obviously, I try to make the films work for an audience. That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success.
