First of all, Sam Fuller left a group of extraordinary movies that are unique, that are "Fuller-esque," as one might say, which makes them stand apart from any other director's films.

We're not used to seeing movies, especially with physical action, when it isn't the man who comes in to save the day.

Put simply, there are many people who want to make movies and very few opportunities for them to do it.

I love suspense movies, because in a sense they're the most dreamlike of any genre, and I'm sure I'll make another one.

That's what I love about Michael Douglas' performance in Wonder Boys, because I feel like he surprises audiences that know him from very different roles in his other work.

I wrote a couple of scripts on spec that didn't get made but got some attention, and I then got offers to write professionally.

I make that distinction only because I came to it strictly as someone who was just a lover of storytellers and cinematic storytellers.
