I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I like are films that take me seriously, that don't treat me as more stupid than I am.
So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.
I really took filmmaking very seriously... It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I'm a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.
As far as I'm concerned, I make movies.
I think you have a responsibility to the people you're making movies with, and I take that very seriously. I don't want to let up and I don't want to let down.
Any film you make is a crap shoot.
I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.
I don't like doing movies that are meaningless or unrealistic. I like things with a lot of reality to them. I'm a pretty serious kind of person myself. Things affect me.
It's just a fact of life that I don't think I've ever been taken particularly seriously in movies by movie makers. I don't know why.
When I make movies, I don't ever go out there to please anyone other than myself. I never try to make a film for the masses. I just try to tell my story.
