I love films like Deliverance where you can watch it over and over again and decode all of its many different meanings.

Action to me is something very fun to shoot.

Directing my own writing, I see that I talk way too much, and everything can happen much sooner, with much less said about it.

My films do very well on home video.

Normally, I tend to be a very binary filmmaker. You give me a problem and a destination and I say, "All right. If you want to get from here to here, there's a series of if/then's that will get you there. And if you have other stuff you want to do along the way, I'll give you all the if/then's that are caused by that."

Evil is a really tough concept for me. The idea of a villain that is bad for bad's sake seems kind of absurd.

Success is never bad in Hollywood. It is what you do with success that will dog you.
