I used to agonise over what to do next, but now I'm making a movie a year. It's insane, but it's only a movie after all. You just hang in there, and occasionally you might make something which you can call art... briefly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did 14 movies in six years, I had a cartoon TV show, and I don't want to do that again. I just want to make unique pieces of art. That's why I quit everything when I was 14 and sat around for eight years before I did another movie.
You don't make movies to be art movies. You make movies that move you emotionally because if you're going to commit five years of your life to a movie, you need something to keep you going.
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
I love making movies. But it's a lot of investing your heart and soul. It can be exhausting.
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.
I haven't made a movie for a while, but I've watched a lot. It's my major waste of time. I like to work, but also to be waiting for work.
The only way you can continue to make artistic films is to make an occasional one of those. They kind of keep your marketability going to the extent that people will employ you.
I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film, or art, but as movies, something to do on a Saturday afternoon.
You know, I feel like my job is to write a book. Then filmmakers come and they make a movie. And they're two really different art forms.
