I don't worry about what everyone wants to see. I make movies that please a writer, director and myself. I always think there are enough people smart as me and sensitive as me.

I have learned from my experiences in this industry that there is absolutely no way to control people's opinions on your performance in your movie. You go out there, promote your film and hope people like the work you did.

I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.

People think that I have some idea about how I choose my films. I make sure that I am doing the kind of films that I want to watch. You hear so many stories, and one of them will stand out and connect to you somewhere.

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

The fact is some people really love my work, some people not so much, but at the end of the day, I don't want anybody coming out of the movie thinking about me.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

I turn a lot of stuff down - big, big movies, the kind I wouldn't want to go to the cinema to see.

Every time you do something, people are going to like it, people are going to hate it. You tend to make the movies on the basis you are making them for the people who are going to like them and not worrying too much about people who don't like them.

I don't want to be doing movies that I don't want to do. They take so much out of you.
