To Me It's Very Obvious

Well I Don't Think Sex And Violence Have Ever Stopped A Movie From Being Mainstream.

But When You're Writing A Script - For Me Anyway - You Have To Sort Of Create An Enforced Innocence. You Have To Divest Yourself Of Worrying About A Lot Of Stuff Like What Movies Are Hot, What Movies Are Not Hot, What The Budget Of This Movie Might Be.

I Have No Rules. For Me, It's A Full, Full Experience To Make A Movie. It Takes A Lot Of Time, And I Want There To Be A Lot Of Stuff In It. You're Looking For Every Shot In The Movie To Have Resonance And Want It To Be Something You Can See A Second Time, And Then I'd Like It To Be Something You Can See 10 Years Later, And It Becomes A Different Movie, Because You're A Different Person. So That Means I Want It To Be Deep, Not In A Pretentious Way, But I Guess I Can Say I Am Pretentious In That I Pretend. I Have Aspirations That The Movie Should Trigger Off A Lot Of Complex Responses.

But With My Last Film, Spider It Was Agony. The Money Was Always Disappearing, Nobody Got Paid, It Was Very Difficult - And It's Very Distracting From The Process Of Making The Movie, Of Course. So I Think Things Have Been Getting Harder And Harder.

To Me It's Very Obvious There Are Huge Cultural Differences Between Americans And Canadians. But A Lot Of What We Are Is American.
