I always say that you should remake flops, not hits.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You learn more from the flops than from the hits.
If you have a flop movie, so what? And if you have a hit movie, it's 'so what,' too - it's on to the next movie.
When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
Hits and flops will come and go. But what stays with you is the experience you had while shooting a film. I am happy learning something new each time.
No one tells you what to do if you completely flop at the beginning of a performance.
I prefer to remake flops. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a remake of a flop, and The Quiet American is a remake of a flop.
I'm a Top 40 record guy. I remember the hits and don't remember the flops. Something in my brain blocks them out.
Flops are always disappointing, but 'High Fidelity' was devastating. Not that I thought it was going to make me a big star, but I did think it was going to run longer than a week and a half.
You write a hit the same way you write a flop.
Hits and flops are overrated.
