I like the opportunity to make films.

One hundred percent, I mean, many of the Sergio Leone movies were with Clint Eastwood, and that's what it is.

I only pay to take my son to the movies, because most of the time I only watch European movies, independent movies, or screen them privately. But I like to go to movies with my son because it's still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies.

I don't think the audience goes and thinks of the movie as a piece of art - there are some independent people who may go and have a higher appreciation for filmmaking. It is a great art form, but I don't think you look at a painting and a movie with the same eye.

I'm a product of older filmmakers I guess, the past where you get to make movies and scenes are what they are.

Being a kid growing up with Kurosawa films and watching Sergio Leone movies just made me love what it could do to you, and how it could influence you - make you dream.

I believe in God, absolutely.
