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

I am a big fan of the old Howard Hawks films from the 30s and 40s, I was a big Hepburn and Tracey fan for a while and Woody Allen films that are a very different kind of romantic comedy.

The stigma of the straight-to-DVD thing is over.

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.

Trust your actors. That's why I work with the same actors time and time again. I encourage them to change the dialogue to achieve one thing: keep the characters honest.

I'm always aware of who my core audiences are and I serve that niche.

That's my advice for indie filmmakers: Marry a supermodel.
