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.

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.

I feel Irish-Americans are the forgotten minority group. Nobody else is making films about them.

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

I'm betting that in two years I'll be talking to you about a film that I shot on an iPhone. It's absolutely coming, I have no doubt in my mind.

It's so hard to raise money for independent films and the fact of the matter is that the bigger my star or whatever is, as a result of doing bigger pictures, the easier it is for me to get money for my own projects.
