You certainly can't be a perfect person, coming up with the 100% correct solution, all the time. It's just a combination of a chain of good decisions that comes up with a successful product or a successful film. That's what you hope for. But, nothing about the system is 100% fool proof.

I never feel like I'm the guy that's got all the answers.

One of the things I've always tried to do in filmmaking is that you don't tell the story, you try to show it.

You want to feel appreciated, definitely. I think I've been very lucky to have a long enough career, so that I do get this kind of feedback.

I was working with actors who were very easy to work with, but I can just imagine how, with all the other decision-making problems that come up along the way, in addition to that, the whole point of what your doing is following performance and character development. You're building your story with those building blocks, and it is not easy. I've only come out with more respect for directors, from this.

You gain wisdom and you don't make the same mistakes.

Even in traditional filmmaking, you're always trying to find novel ways of telling stories, and this is different.
