I figured, if I failed, I'd tried something that I hadn't tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn't have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn't over the top and didn't embarrass myself.

And as a filmmaker, I'm trying to unhook myself from this idea that unless you have a brilliant, long, enormously lucrative theatrical run, that your movie somehow failed. And I don't believe that.

Failure worries me; nobody wants to fail. There is a fear that one day, films will not come my way, or if someone doesn't watch your film, that is a worrying point. It is unpredictable in the industry.

My film directorial career has been nothing but repetition of one failure after another!

You want a career. You don't want to do a couple of good films and then your career is over.

If a film is not a success, then that's just the way things are. Nothing I can do can make a difference. I have stopped worrying about it.

I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success.

I just did one movie and there was no career for me, anyway.

If my film does not do well, it really hurts me. But by God's grace, even if some of my films may not have done well, people have still liked my work in it.
