You never know what to expect when you're a writer visiting a movie set.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do my best not to have any expectations when I go into a movie because it's not fair.
The thing is, you never know with any movie how it's going to turn out. It's always a mystery - you'll do pages and pages of scenes that will never make it onto the screen.
I never went to work on a movie set until I was a producer and director.
I've never much been interested in doing films that no one gets to see.
It's always good to have no expectations when you see a film. Then you can be pleasantly disappointed or surprised.
When I'm writing a movie, it's usually pretty close to what the movie is going to be, which is just a luxury of being a writer-director.
A writer doesn't really have much of a function on a movie set.
I wonder if that's hurt me at the box office. Maybe audiences these days want to know exactly what to expect when they go into a movie, and my movies are hard to explain in just one way.
When you're an actor working in the theater, you would never say anything to the writer, never alter the dialogue, never dream to ask for changes.
I never go to the movies when I'm doing a play.
