Peter Jackson says he is driven by fear of failure
August 24th, 2009 - 4:44 pm ICT by ANIWellington, Aug 24 (ANI): Kiwi filmmaker Peter Jackson has revealed that he is driven by the fear that one of his mega-productions might end up becoming a flop.
Jackson, 47, became one of the most sought-after producers after the success of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, which brought him and his Weta productions workshop multiple Academy Award successes.
But during the release of his mega hit movie ‘District 9′ in the US, he revealed that he was motivated by the sheer fear of turning out a flop.
“You’re always imagining the best, and then you always have to compromise for what you get in the real world,” Stuff.co.nz quoted him as saying.
“It’s a process of constant disappointment. But somehow you have to hope that you set your goals high enough that even with the disappointment, you still end up with something that other people enjoy,” he added. (ANI)
