We take safety very, very seriously on every film I make, and that's why I've never had a serious accident or anybody killed when I make a picture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think more and more people these days go for the safe option in film making.
When I'm making an American film, it's more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, 'What are you doing!? Tell me first!' There are so many restrictions.
I think movie sets can often be stressful, and people take themselves very seriously.
If you're an actor, you're at the mercy of a script. You've got far more control if you're the photographer.
Everything's a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There's no guarantee.
I like to create an atmosphere where actors feel safe enough to take risks.
Within the process of filming, unexpected situations occur.
As the lead of a movie, you really set the tone off-camera as well, and that's a really big responsibility.
It's just a fact of life that I don't think I've ever been taken particularly seriously in movies by movie makers. I don't know why.
Successful films are very dangerous things.
