Other filmmakers make their movies and put them out and that's that. For me, for some odd reason, it goes deeper than that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A movie is like a tip of an iceberg, in a way, because so little of what you do in connection with making a movie actually gets into the movie. Almost everything gets left behind.
Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.
People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
Movies alone have the hideous capacity to do everything for you. So in directing movies, you have to figure how to leave things out - because when you leave things out, you evoke the imaginative participation of the audience.
I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.
When you create a movie, you create something in your image.
I don't get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can't help but feel like this reduces it a little bit.
I think the way you make a movie dictates the movie that you make.
As a filmmaker, you put the film out there, and you just want it to be okay. You don't want to let people down; you don't want to embarrass yourself.
When you make a movie, it's just so personal and then you put it out in front of people and it becomes something else.
