Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.

It kind of irks me that the studio films still have to be so safe even though they don't really cost as much to make.

I'm not expecting much work in Hollywood, to be honest. People stick to film because they tend to get offered the same roles over and over again, and it's safe. But I'm not interested in doing that.

We take safety very, very seriously on every film I make, and that's why I've never had a serious accident or anybody killed when I make a picture.

There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.

Successful films are very dangerous things.

I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.

I like to create an atmosphere where actors feel safe enough to take risks.

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.

If you stay true to your ideas, film-making becomes an inside-out, honest kind of process.
