Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.

I'm not really a guy who wants to be a director, anyway.

When I was coming up, if you were on a TV show, that meant something was wrong with your career. Now it means something's right with your career.

We don't shoot in L.A. much anymore. You know, TV and movies, most everything's shot other places.

I think my stuff's kind of obsolete now, you know? I'm making Model Ts or something, and everybody else is making spaceships.

Directing takes a good chunk of your life out. It's a very hard thing. As an actor, you go in for a couple of months and do your job, and then you move onto another one. As a director, it's with you for quite some time and you're responsible for the entire thing, whether the results are good or bad, or whether people throw darts at you or put you on a pedestal.
