I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very well.

The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.

I grew up watching films. Film has been part of my life since I was a child.

I've been fortunate to be in films that are classic, that are going to be around.

So a failed movie is not going to ruin my career.

In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.

I've been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion - great belief - and these films slightly don't work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.

I always liked film as a teaching tool - a way of getting exposed to ideas that had never been presented to me. It just wasn't on the list of career options where I grew up.

I want to work for a long, long time and keep growing in my work, and if I am very lucky and very blessed, maybe somewhere along the line there will be one movie in there that becomes a classic.
