With movies, you get to be in a bubble while you're creating it, and it's not until it comes out that you see whether people like it or not.

You ought to love what you're doing because, especially in a movie, over time you really will start to hate it.

In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.

You make movies for the people. If critics happen to like them too, well, that's a home run.

I hope they get something of interest out of it, but I'd rather they all hate it and I like it, instead of vice versa... I make films to please myself first, and if the audience likes them, all the better.

You don't get many chances in life to make a movie, and if someone says they don't like it, I say, 'I do'. I've made records before, and if someone said it sucked, it bummed me out.

When you make a movie, it's just so personal and then you put it out in front of people and it becomes something else.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

I don't really like those sorts of actresses who say, 'I don't want to make that movie,' but they make the movie. They just spend their time not liking being on a set and I just think it's absurd, because we are so lucky to do this job. When you accept to make a movie, just make the movie. And then it's more easy for relationships.

I also don't like films that are made just to make money, no this kind of film I don't like.
