It means nothing if the movie doesn't get out there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a sense of emptiness when you finish any film because you're empty and you can't give anything more to it anymore.
If a movie isn't released, it's one thing, but if you know it will be, it's nice to have closure and see it come out.
I've been involved in some movies that I really thought were going to take off that didn't. And then I've thought, 'This movie's not going anywhere,' and it worked. The same thing with television shows.
The thing is, you never know with any movie how it's going to turn out. It's always a mystery - you'll do pages and pages of scenes that will never make it onto the screen.
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.
Unless the story line carries the scenes, the scenes don't really mean anything.
I don't want to know what happens in any movie that I go to see.
That's a good sign for a movie: When it becomes part of the lexicon and pop culture for an entire generation. I've been in many movies, luckily, that get quoted.
It means that if they misunderstood Comfort and Joy, they misunderstood my other films.
Movies can tell us about our place, or lack of place, in our culture.
