The thing that's protected me creatively is that the movies have made profits.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My movies make a profit, but obviously not a fortune.
I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.
Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.
My movies don't make any money, and they don't really light the world on fire. But I'm really lucky because I've gotten them made.
You're creating new things in movies and people are going to steal them.
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
If there's something that can be formulated, regulated, give you security, then nobody would lose money. Every movie would be successful. And that's certainly not the case.
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?
If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.
