Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting.

With 'New Rose Hotel,' I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that's all I was going to get.

Movies are only the result of where we are as human beings.

I grew up in the '60s, which was a creative time, so it wasn't that big of a stretch to go from a baseball bat to a guitar to a film camera.

No one can stop me from talking about my movie.

A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.

I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.
