You never know how films are going to do and it is daunting if I think about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
I think making a film that you think is good and you believe in is going to be difficult forever.
If a film is a huge hit, you do think properly before choosing your next projects.
I've learned that you can never predict what will happen to a film. You can never predict if people will love it, if they'll hate it. It's an act of ego if you're hoping for everyone to love the film and tell you how great you are.
I've never much been interested in doing films that no one gets to see.
I think films have to reach people and really grab them. That's what I hope to do when I make a film - to get under your skin and really make you think about something, and have a transporting time that takes you somewhere.
Obviously, after every film you do, you wonder what you're going to do next.
I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'
Every time I do a movie, I think it's going to be a huge hit.
