I've been lucky, I've had movies that made a lot of money, so I don't feel like I have to kill every time out. I don't want that pressure. I don't need it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.
When I'm working on a movie, I will make any sacrifice to finish it.
I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
It's not a great feeling for a film to suffer financially, but you can't sit and mope about it. You just have to just move on to next project - I try to always be working on a new project when my last one hits the theaters.
I don't want to get on the treadmill of earning more money. I'd rather live cheaply and allow myself more freedom. I can honestly say I've never taken a film just for the dough, although I've made some ghastly mistakes.
I just don't want to do a movie because it paid me a lot of money.
I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.
Well, I was getting a lot of money then, and I wasn't getting any Hollywood films, so I just did those. I'd always do a play in between. Whenever I ran low on funds, I'd always rush off to do a movie somewhere.
I love making movies. But it's a lot of investing your heart and soul. It can be exhausting.
Making movies is both entirely ludicrous and incredibly hard. It's a preposterous way to spend your time. You give up a lot for the privilege of doing it, and one of the things you get are relationships of immense trust that you see forged in situations of immense stress.
