I always believe that one can't interfere in another's work. Once I start work on any film, I surrender myself completely and blindly follow the director.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a director, you never get to watch other directors work, and you also don't get to collaborate with other directors that much.
I have hardly ever worked with the same director twice. But when you have worked with a director before, you understand his behavior.
Ultimately when I throw myself behind a movie, I have to really believe in that director's vision.
When you agree to work with a filmmaker, it's important that you accept their world. It's an adventure. I like that. I throw myself into the director's arms, into their universe.
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all.
In film work, you do the best you can under the given circumstances, but you don't have control. At least, I don't.
I don't want to know movie directors. I don't want to be close to them. I don't want to interfere with their work. I don't want them to interfere with mine.
When I'm playing as an actor, I don't want to interfere at all with the director. I'm just an actor. I'm totally respectful.
I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.
My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.
