I find it hard to deliver straightforward things.
I don't like to deal with studios. I don't like to have conversations with executives. I pitch to the studio, then never talk to them until the test screening.
When something possesses me, I go ahead and do it.
Every movie is unknown.
It's not a pleasure torturing actors, although some of them enjoy it.
For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.
