People Say You Can't Make

Just Because You've Made A Couple Movies, You've Done Some Good Movies, You've Been Nominated For Some Academy Awards, Whatever, Nobody's Entitled. It's A Business. If They Don't See It, I Can Think They're Wrong, But I'm Not Entitled To A $15 Million Budget To Make A Film.

I Like It When The Deeper You Go With The Character, The More You See The Layers Start To Peel Away.

I Think It's A Total Fallacy For People To Say, "you Couldn't Make Those Old Movies Today." I Think There's More Ways To Get A Movie Made Today Than Ever In The History Of The Entertainment Industry. It's A Very Exciting Time To Work In Movies, If You're A Creative Person Looking To Make A Very Personal, Weird Vision.

I'm Fascinated By The Ways In Which People Express Themselves, Because Their Responses Are Often Counter To What They're Actually Feeling. Like When They're Frightened, They Tend To Freeze. When They're Angry, It Doesn't Always Come Out As Volume. There Are Wonderful Contradictions In The Way That People Express Their Emotions.
