I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.

Newlyweds shooting budget: 5k for actors, 2k insurance, 2k food and drink. 9k in the can. We only shot 12 days. That's how to make an independent film.

Actors are con men and con men are actors.

Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make Star Wars, but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot.

I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

People that went to art house theatre have more options, I used to go, but now think any movie can be delivered in a red envelope three months after it's released so why not watch it on my flat screen in the comfort of home.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.
