If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
When you come to do the film, it is not the time to wonder why you do it. It's just how to do it.
Filmmaking can give you everything, but at the same time, it can take everything from you.
I've very critical of myself, and film has been an adjustment for me.
But I'd be lying if I didn't say that every time you go to make a film, you're desperate to either do it better than you did it last time or to not repeat yourself.
There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It's not my favorite way to work.
As a filmmaker, you put the film out there, and you just want it to be okay. You don't want to let people down; you don't want to embarrass yourself.
In film work, you do the best you can under the given circumstances, but you don't have control. At least, I don't.
Whenever you do a film for the wrong reasons, it may or it may not pan out. Sometimes people do it because it is a good move or the right move. I don't know; maybe one day I will do a film for the wrong reasons, and it will work for me.
One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
