Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.
I am very critical! I hate watching myself but I know I have to because I'm going to be asked so I need to have some sort of semblance of what the films with me are like. But it's not an enjoyable experience watching yourself. I hate it less than I used to but I still don't enjoy it.
If you like the book, you'll hate the movie.
Normally I sit there in the films really hating watching myself. Loving watching the films, hating watching myself.
