When you work on these films for so long and so intensely, when you get to the end of them, suddenly there's nothing to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You do get really exhausted doing films. You work such long hours, and after a while, things can get out of perspective, just like if anyone's tired, things get on top of them.
Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well. I'm surprised I'm continuing to work.
People's behaviour towards you changes when your films don't work. It's a painful period.
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.
When I'm making a film, I'm obsessive about what I do, and I get totally into it. That's all I'm eating, breathing, living at that moment.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
Maybe when I stop making movies, I'll understand my work better.
When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.
When I go to where I was getting excellent parts in movies I may have taken a few too soon, too anxious to go back to work and to anxious to make another film and to succeed more.
Oh, it takes a lot for me to walk out of a film.
