I'm just a member of the audience with each project I work on, and I hope to never lose that. It's my touchstone. It's the thing I never want to overanalyze.

You know, I've always been very open to any project.

There's no way a director can communicate with every single person on the set and yet they need to motivate and instill an ambition to want to do their best work.

Sports teaches you to understand the meaning of a team. You need to be able to work with everybody; you don't have to be their best friend. You can experience the fun of competition and driving toward a common goal without pushing to bond in some major way with each individual on a project.

Anyone can give advice to the people to never lose hope but a wise will only suffice with a solid reason and foolproof example as why a person should not lose hope

I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.
