I'm very fortunate to have spent so much time in the industry and to have lived through several generations of filmmakers, actors and technicians. There's a huge volume of experience seeing people change and seeing content change.

People are fed up with seeing the same thing over and over. They want a qualitative change.

It's nice being friends over a period of time with people whose music you like so much, or other filmmakers, seeing people change, go through trials.

I felt that for 20 years, I was wooing the people of my country and asking them to like me as an actor, and when they liked me as an actor, I told them, 'Now, you like my politics.'

It was an experience not too many people ever have (and) we got a little chunk of change, too.

I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.
