Did making "Birdman" change the way you view your own work, or do you still consider everything you do to be "a piece of shit"?
"Birdman" came from a very beautiful side of me, from a part of honesty and surrender about things. It already has taught me to surrender to many things. I really struggled a lot with making this film because not many people wanted to invest money in it. I never took it personally. I never quit. I was never depressed or fought against it. I surrendered to the circumstances because I accepted circumstances. Slowly the elements came by themselves by surrendering, not by controlling or pushing. It happened and I learned that. I learned that the film was teaching me what the nature of the spirit of the film was about. It was something very beautiful....
