I Did A Women's Movie, And I'm

Only One Time In My Career I Had That Feeling [that This Is Not Gonna Get Made], It Was For This Movie [life Of Pi]. It Was Right Before We Started The Physical Pre-production. I Pre-visualized The Whole Ocean Part Before We Made The Movie, I Was That Prepared. At One Point They Seemed To Want To Drop It Because It Was Really Risky. The Budget We Proposed Was A Lot Higher Than They Expected, They Wanted To [drop It]. After All, It's A Philosophical Book And A Literature Property, It's Not Batman.

I Think A Lot Of People Do Big Movies Not Because They Are Talented Artists But Because They Can Function In The Circumstances.

If There's Something That Can Be Formulated, Regulated, Give You Security, Then Nobody Would Lose Money. Every Movie Would Be Successful. And That's Certainly Not The Case.

Thinking Back To Those Earlier Days, I Felt I Was Weak When I Wasn't Making Movies, And Then When I Was, I Thought I Was Weak As A Family Member.

There's A Level Of Sophistication Of Filmmaking That's Mind-boggling. Anything You Need For Your Movie, There's An Establishment That Can Make It Happen Really Fast.
