I would certainly say that films like Time Code and the Loss of Sexual Innocence were far more rewarding to me in terms of being able to move forward as a filmmaker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't regret doing any of my films. All of them have been great learning experiences, and they have contributed to making me what I am today.
Film is something I've always loved since I was very young. In fact, I actually wanted to study to be a filmmaker when I was younger.
I was able to make many different kinds of movies. They enriched me on many different levels.
I'm much more experienced now, so I can find films that are interesting quicker and cut out the films that don't really matter. It means more to me now because my kids are going to see them, and I want them to be proud.
I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.
Always changing genres, making very different films is a good idea. It's a way of making yourself feel vulnerable again, getting back to that innocence. As is working within a circumspect budget.
My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.
I thought film was more important than life itself for many years. But I was naive to the world until my first child was born in 1985.
As a filmmaker I find it much more rewarding to work with actors who are classically trained. It's about the work and only the work.
I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.
