Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love filmmaking, and I love the process. And I would rather do nothing else. It's a privilege to be able to paint such big pictures, so to speak.
For me, I see filmmaking as art.
Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.
I love the art of filmmaking very much in all aspects.
The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I'm not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.
I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not.
Filmmaking can be a fine art.
Filmmaking can give you everything, but at the same time, it can take everything from you.
I've always looked at filmmaking as a lifestyle. There is no decision of when you go to work. It's a way of life: you're thinking about scripts; you see things and think, 'That could be interesting'... I don't think about my work as, 'Today I'll work on this, this and that.' It just comes to me.
I think people think filmmaking is fun, but I've never thought that. For me it's always been a lot of work and pain and stress.
