Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.

It's physically and psychologically exhausting to make a film.

Directing films is incredibly exciting to me.

I love making movies. But it's a lot of investing your heart and soul. It can be exhausting.

When I started making films, like almost every filmmaker, I think, you're just so excited to be able to make a movie that you'll do anything.

I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.

Making movies is time-consuming and it's boring. You spend most of your time waiting between takes. It's like a big machine that moves slowly.

When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do.

I like the feeling of making things. It's very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you're forced to collaborate with so many people. You're involved in the beginning to end, you're involved with so many elements, and when it's done, you're like, 'I made this movie.'

Film-making is not liberating. It drains a lot out of you, and it's fulfilling only temporarily. It's a very thankless thing at times. When you're spending all that time on a film, you don't want 40,000 people to see it - it's just not enough. You dream of more.
