Man, I’ll be very honest, I didn’t have to struggle. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been rejected on some of the scripts I wanted to support, but it all becomes part of the process. My struggle was that I wasn’t getting a fan… now that’s not a struggle! It would be naive of me to say that it was a struggle because while I was waiting to make Fan, I got to make three films. I am extremely grateful. In terms of what I’m drawn to create, or ideas I get excited about, for the most part I’ve followed through on them. Then whether it is right or wrong is a different matter. There have been 9 movies made so far, including 1 produced, and I can say that whether they are good or bad is completely up to me.
