  • You take it one step at a time and the basic rule is to work on movies you would like to go see because it takes too long and it`s too hard to work on a project for somebody else just because it`s a job. When it`s four in the morning and you`ve been working 18 hours a day for 10 months straight you had better care about the film, otherwise you couldn`t put out the way you have to. To do it well you don`t have any other life, so it better be something you enjoy.
