It's like any job, you're like, "Oh, I know how to do this." You know it's a temporary thing, but it's easy not to walk away from.

You always have to appeal to your audience. You always have to consider how well your project will do in terms of admissions. I abandoned many stories because of that. But I don't get too down about it. It's something I accepted from the time I decided to work in films. I could always do something else if I got sick of it, like draw manga, or make my own films.
