A lot of the films I do go down brilliantly critically and win awards, but not a lot of people see them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.
Those critics awards come and go every year, but the finished movie is your work.
I don't think a lot of really good films get seen.
I get terrible reviews, but there are people who like to see me in the movies, I guess.
I don't read the reviews, the blogs, or anything else. Instead, I feel the audience when I show the film.
Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
But you can still find good films if you read your local film critics and are willing to drive a bit. You have to be a proactive film viewer to have the most provocative cinema life.
Because of the incredible reputation I have, people find me exciting to watch on film.
We don't make movies for critics. I've done four movies; there's millions upon millions upon millions of people who've paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience.
I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.
