Film is the toughest one for me, as there are many fingers in the pot, so it can be disappointing. However, to have your work seen on such a large scale, that's a very exciting prospect.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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'd love to have another film to go on to. I'm in the mood to work. But I have to be patient, you know, to find that particular kind of project. Occasionally I'll write one myself if I can summon up the energy.
I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.
I'm hoping one day I can make one really good film.
I am trying to do the best work I possibly can and making movies that will have resonance for years to come. I think if you try for an Oscar or a goal like that, the more people are going to see it as transparent. It's not on my radar. If it happens, great, but I'm happy to continue working as I am, really.
I think making a film that you think is good and you believe in is going to be difficult forever.
I'm not looking for a challenge, necessarily. I'm looking to make a really great film.
There's a strange sense of accomplishment in making an independent film. Everything's against you; there's no time, and even less money - you bring a bottle of glue, chip in twenty bucks, and hope you all make it through the day. If you manage to finish it and it actually turns out to be pretty good, it's thrilling.
Making a film - particularly what I think is a good film - is the result of a team of people, and the end result has many, many hands on it.
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
