Sometimes earning awards doesn't matter as much as earning revenue or profit, or having a good response from the audience. No matter how many awards you win, if you can't earn any profit from your movie, if the audience doesn't like it, then it doesn't matter how many awards you get.

First of all, I never make a movie for awards consideration.

Not every movie has to serve as every audience member's need for completion.

It's dangerous to think too much about how a film will be received. Filmmaking is not a popularity contest. Some would disagree.

I think you should make a movie that has an audience.

I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.

I would not want to be a part of any project that I feel would not work. An actor like me always wants to work to get appreciation of the audiences. And appreciation can only come if people will come to watch the film.

I've found that if you just try to make the film you want, you'll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, you're going to make really boring films.

I don't really care about awards.

I've never much been interested in doing films that no one gets to see.
