It's so difficult to actually come up with ideas that you really fall in love with, you know? That's the most difficult thing about filmmaking - and that's my main challenge in life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I fall in love with every film while I'm doing it. I fall in love with the directors, I fall in love with the process. I don't think I could do it otherwise.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.
I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.
Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.
It's very hard to put forth a film that's about love and the joy of love and for it not to be patronising and not make people nauseous or make them roll their eyes.
Film is my big problem. I am involved too much. I love too much. I've been trying to resolve it for 35 years now, but for now, I have to keep making them.
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
I fell in love with filmmaking. I fell in love with criticism. I fell in love with theory, and it made me really dogmatic in my approach to choosing roles.
