Just knowing that people are going to see it now and do completely differently. And they go, you've got something. They're smart. Mark Kenton there said, you got something really special here. We're going to take it to the festivals. And we won Sundance because I made it for myself. It was a real lesson in that.

Like if I was trying to think about what all the audience was going to want to see, I would have changed so many things because I knew no one was going to see it. It's probably the only movie in history ever made where people were guaranteed not to see it just by the title. I titled it that way so nobody would see it. I didn't want anybody to see it. I wanted to just throw it away and practice.

I figured maybe the third one might be the better one. Like that advice, throw three scripts away and then do a fourth. Well, I'm going to throw three movies away so that by the fourth, I'm so savvy, know how to film and do all these things. This first practice film is not going to be it. That's the one that's going to be it. So commit to a body of work. Throw shit away.

Don't be precious about it. Just go make it. Don't blink when people criticize it. And just keep going. Make a body of work. That's it. That's the secret. And that's the secret to life, too. Just keep trying to make it the best.

That's why I accomplished it, by doing those things, which everybody can do. It's not because I'm not that smart. I'm telling you, I'm not that smart. I just follow the instinct like you did. When you follow your instinct, you're letting the universe do all the talking. And I know this sounds wonky, but I just call it that because it is from some other place. And you're just an instrument.

You're just a pipe.

You're just a pipe.

You're just a pipe.

The soul that gets into your body. And you realize that when you have kids, I don't know if you had that experience. As soon as I had my first kid, I was like, this isn't my kid. You can just tell it's not my kid. I mean, it has physical characteristics. It may even mannerisms in my walk. But there's another soul in here that's from some other place. And each one is so different.
