You know, people really don't understand what actors do.

I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they're from a different time and era.

I understand those who don't like me.

As actors, we put in our best, but when people don't like a film, you have to learn to deal with it. I've learnt not to get too emotional.

Very difficult to understand American audience, what they like, what they don't like. Some movie I like very much, it doesn't work. Some movie I don't like, it gets big box office. Very difficult.

When people approach me about my films it is usually to tell me how much they hate them.

People are mistaken to view cinema as some sort of gimmick. It's very much ingrained in the ways in which we understand each other.

Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.

I don't like movies, TV shows, or books or anything that's preaching to the audience or speaking down to us.

Good television people have a sense of what television people relate to.
