Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has admitted that she does not feel any pressure to match the enormous success of the vampire romance.
Speaking to Reuters, the filmmaker claimed that it was "not healthy" to measure her future achievements against the box office hit, which grossed over $300 million worldwide.
"I don't think that's possible [to top it], and I don't think that's a healthy way to think. Twilight was a phenomenon - the stars just aligned on that film," she said.
"Thank God Ridley Scott didn't stop after Blade Runner. He made Thelma and Louise and Gladiator and a million other interesting movies. I still want to make other good films that won't lose money."
When asked how her career had changed since the film, she replied: "Right now, I can say in a meeting, 'Well on Twilight this is how we did it and this is how we made it work'. And people go, 'Oh wow, that movie made money'. They listen to me a little bit more than before."
Hardwicke, who penned a behind-the-scenes companion to the movie, withdrew from helming the sequel New Moon last year.
