I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.

I guess short films have a bright future... The advantage is budget.

Is the cinema more important than life?

Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.

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.

Films are fun, but life is much richer.

Cinema gives you the opportunity to be both a grandparent and a grandchild whereas in life you cannot be both at the same time.

There are different reasons to make movies.

You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.

If it's a choice between doing a film and not doing a film, I'd rather not. But then, you remember that you're supposed to be earning a living and that it's your career.
