You get paid the same for a bad film as you do for a good one.

Good filmmakers make bad films; it happens.

The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.

In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.

I'd rather not make films than make bad ones.

I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success.

I had a pretty steep learning curve in film - as I'm still learning.

All the lessons you learn in film school from the people you hate are always the ones that are important. The lessons you think are great and thankful for never end up meaning anything to you.

Unlike the stage, I never found it helpful to be good in a bad movie.

You work with great directors and terrible directors, and so you learn; you take what you think will work for you.
