People ask me, 'What's your next film?' And I never know.

Obviously, after every film you do, you wonder what you're going to do next.

I long to make films. I'm dying to be inside the next film. I always hope there will be another film.

When I choose a movie, I'll ask myself: 'Is this a movie I want to see?'

Sequels are desperate.

I'm anxious to make another film.

I never actually plan sequels. They demand to be done.

'Beyond the Lights' was my fourth film. I gained a lot of knowledge, and I'm excited to share that with young filmmakers because I know how lost I was coming out of film school with that question of 'What's next?'

I just like to do work that inspires me, and I don't pay any attention to whether it's a high- or low-budget movie.

I didn't really want to do another sequel. I go to those movies, and I just sort of enjoy them like a viewer.
