I am not interested in churning out a certain number of films every year. For me, it's about the quality of work. I think it's about following your instincts and doing a film for the right reason.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.
I never know going in if I've even got a movie to make. Once you start making a film, you hope there's going to be enough material! My job as a director is always to push for more.
Maybe I'll make one movie a year, maybe two, but it's not going to be more than that because I have other priorities now.
There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.
I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.
The effort always remains that my new film outdoes my last in terms of performance and gets better box office success. Box office is the sole reason why I do films.
If I make two films in a year, they'll be different. This is my style - I can't have just one way.
By the way, movies are like sporting events in that you're as good as the movie you're in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if they're dreck, it's nothing.
At the end of the day, it is about working in a good film. It's the films that you leave behind that matter.
