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.
A lot of films made me love the movies, everything from Hitchcock to Godard. But the ones that really grabbed me were Costa-Gavras's films like 'Z' and 'State of Siege.'
Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody's piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.
Well, I think every film student goes into film school thinking they want to write and direct their own movies, and they don't realize how much goes into it, and what a process it is.
To get noticed, I had to take my films in a space which was much more democratic in terms of cinema - the international film festivals.
There is an audience out there for literate films - slower, more observant, more human films, and they deserve to be made.
To me, the box-office is basically the cost of film. If your film costs so much and your box-office is so much and a bit more, you are okay.
I have a second bedroom I don't use. I'm going to start the Second Bedroom Film Festival. You're all invited.
