At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.

When you are making the one you are doing, you think it is the greatest film going. And then you do another one and it is a great film.

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It's as simple as that.

When you work so hard on making a film, it's all worthwhile when you get to experience seeing that film with an audience who thoroughly enjoy it and react to the movie.

There is no sense in making a film that no-one will go and see, just to create a perfect, but useless, work of art.

Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.

With a movie you're creating from the beginning this particular work, let's not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let's just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art.

The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.
