I've found that if you just try to make the film you want, you'll find the right audience. If you try to please everyone, you're going to make really boring films.

Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.

I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.

You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.

You have to want to be in the company of those you're making films about.

I try to work on a film that my audiences would appreciate and enjoy their time in a theatre.

Very, very rare that you do a job knowing that the audience is desperate for you to do that job. Most films you make don't get released, is the fact.

Well, first of all, making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.
