Money and love from others don't bring happiness. They can only bring some pleasurable feelings. Positive frequent thoughts are the only things that can produce the feeling of happiness that one desperately seeks.
But I did on projects that I produced, that I directed, that I acted in because it was important. I want to be a filmmaker. I don't want to be an actor who directs, I want to be a director. I want to be a filmmaker. So that's a big difference.
