You live these three months in this reality, in this dark reality. You don't want to do those films every year because they're taxing. I started smoking a lot of cigarettes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.
I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.
I am not interested in churning out a certain number of films every year. For me, it's about the quality of work. I think it's about following your instincts and doing a film for the right reason.
If I do three movies in a year, I don't feel like acting ever again.
When you spend three months of your life doing a movie, it's important to enjoy yourself.
If I make two films in a year, they'll be different. This is my style - I can't have just one way.
Maybe I'll make one movie a year, maybe two, but it's not going to be more than that because I have other priorities now.
I don't mind sitting at home for six months if there's no film that I want to do.
The reason I don't make more movies is because it's really hard to find ideas that I go, 'Yeah, I could spend two years of my life doing this.' Mostly what I do is say no to movies because I go, 'Maybe I would see that, but I don't think I could spend two years on it. I'd go nuts.'
I am so picky about what films I get myself into because it's such an explosion of energy and commitment once you get in there, you destroy your life until you deliver these films. I never want to be in the position of making films that won't be a great use of 90 minutes of someone's life.
