I never expected to become a director. It never occurred to me to come to America, to Hollywood. It's all been a wonderful accident. I'm still amazed every time I finish a film.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There were movies that always made me want to be a director. You see brilliant scenes and the way the emotions were handled. I thought, I'd really like to do that.
I thought that Hollywood was just for geniuses and that directors come from three generations of directors. I was worried that I was not up to the challenge of making a movie. Then realized that all a director has to do is know what he wants to do.
I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.
When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.
I never wanted to be a director. I came into this industry by the little door, so I never learned anything; I never went to school. Actors will tell you I'm very precise. I just have the intuition of doing things.
I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write.
I started as a director and just fell upon acting.
Long before I ever started acting, believe it or not, I always knew I wanted to be a director.
I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn't know what to do! You can't be a movie director without real preparation.
I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.
