The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don't give the students an idea of what's happening.

I do like directing other people's material.

I have swum against the stream all my life. It's not something I feel uncomfortable with. Is it difficult? Is it unpleasant? You bet.

You know it's always amazed me - I think the most startling thing that's happened in the last couple of decades is that there is no sort of objective reporting anymore.

I mean, I don't mind promoting a movie, or talking to the press if it's going to be used in some way

I'm always looking for a kind of new musical entity to sort of move into a motion picture venue

It's always great to discover a new star of tomorrow
