I made two movies very young, and then I had trouble getting a movie made, and so - which was both, I think, a plus and a minus. It was a minus because it made me unhappy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.
I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.
I did two movies that were arthouse movies; they were critically successful but made no money at all... but after making those movies, I thought, 'I wouldn't watch my own movies when I was 16, and my buddies where I came from wouldn't watch my movies, because they were boring.'
I made movies all the time when I was a kid.
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.
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.
I knew I wanted to make a movie that hadn't really existed in a while in terms of being a teenager.
When I was young, I loved movies so much I wanted to make one.
I wanted to make a movie, because the whole life of the movies appealed to me. You work hard for three or four months, then you don't work at all for a couple of months.
Getting movies developed doesn't do me any good as a producer. It only does me good to get movies made.
