Making films is much more difficult than people imagine, and so the experience of actually directing them is not one I've ever relished.
The very reasons sometimes that you make a film are the reasons for its failure.
I'm not going to be an interpreter at the U.N. I'm not going to live in Africa on a farm or whatever, but I am going to see the world through those eyes when I make those films.
Film is a collective experience, as you know.
You are not an active creator of the film.
