I set my goals way higher than the achievable. And when I fail, I fail at a very high level. That's my process. It's really demented, but it actually works. When you are aiming really high and doing something new, you must be also prepared to fail, learn from your mistakes and begin with a new plan. More motivated than before.
James CameronPeople call me a perfectionist, but I'm not. I'm a rightist. I do something until it's right, and then I move on to the next thing.
James CameronDon't get seduced by your own stuff. Don't get high on your own supply. The hardest thing as a filmmaker is when you're watching a film that you've worked on for several years. You know every frame so intimately that holding lots of the objectivity of a new viewer who has just seen it for the first time is the hardest thing. Every aesthetic decision you make - and you make thousands of them every day, have to - in theory, must be done from you being a blank slate. You almost have to run a program, like a mind wipe, every time you watch the movie.

James CameronI donโt feel that Iโm making movies for iPhones. If someone wants to watch it on an iPhone, Iโm not going to stop them, especially if theyโre paying for it, but I donโt recommend it. I think itโs dumb, when you have characters that are so small in the frame that theyโre not visible. Iโm trying to make an epic.
