There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go, and don't really establish a growing fan base.

I try to make my fans happy by working hard in every film of mine, and I give my films everything I've got.

I always approach film as a fan.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.

There certainly is no secret in that there are plenty of people who don't like plenty of my movies. Each one of my films is personal; each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that. With each one of my films, I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.

I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.

The subjects have to come with questions for me. I don't make films where I'm a massive fan.

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.

I hope that all new filmmakers see that the Internet and social media are helpful tools in establishing a fan base as well as being able to interact with your fans.
