Actually, the only thing I regret is not making more underground films and bringing them with me as historical documents.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.
One of the things I like about doing historical films is drawing the line between now and then.
I can't talk about every single film I made. It's not my way to go back into the past and to look at my old pictures and to discuss them.
As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.
I generally try to avoid talking about my old films - I find it difficult.
I love history, so I do a lot of movies about history.
I wouldn't have wanted to miss the opportunity to make those three films that didn't do well. They were really important to me, and the things I learned doing them were important to me.
I like storytelling movies and more than that I like historical movies; and I think someday I'll definitely make a movie about the past 50 years history.
I don't regret doing any of my films. All of them have been great learning experiences, and they have contributed to making me what I am today.
I wasted time writing films. I don't look back on those years as lost, but it wasn't what I should have been doing.
