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

I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.

Many times when you make a movie, it feels like your biggest mistake. But even if a film isn't a hit, you shouldn't view it as a mistake.

Good filmmakers make bad films; it happens.

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.

My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.

Most movies aren't any good.

When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.

When you go into a film, you read it, and something clicks for you, and you like it, and you sign on for it; you go for it. You know that this is going to be a good film, and that is your best hope. Past that, it's a crap shoot - you roll the dice.

If a film is good, it will work no matter what.
