I'm prepared to take risks. And every movie that I do is a risk. No one knows what the movie is going out turn out like.

There are certain filmmakers I'd like to work with that I don't think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It'll take a couple films to prove to them that it's worth the risk.

Somewhere after you have few successful films, there is a fear of losing what you have got. It is very easy in the beginning, as you are a risk taker, have nothing to lose, and there is no perception about you.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

I think more and more people these days go for the safe option in film making.

It kind of irks me that the studio films still have to be so safe even though they don't really cost as much to make.

Successful films are very dangerous things.

Well, the studios don't really want to take those risks right off the bat. They'll take the risk after they've seen the finished product and say oh yeah we want that. This is a great film but they are hesitant to take the risk when you just see it on paper.

People are very reluctant to invest unless they know it's going to be a sure thing, and let's face it: film is never a sure thing.
