I grow tired of intelligence having such a limited manifestation in movies - "intelligence" usually meaning coastal, with a certain level of formal education.

I think we really feel like Crowdrise could be something that, 20 years from now, people take for granted because that's just how you do it, like if you're going to raise money for something, that's how you do it.

If you try to make interesting films, you're going to be disappointed most of the time. I choose just not to look at it that way.

I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of one familiar genre or another.

You know when somebody really knows what they're drawing from and you can feel it when you see the movie.

I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.

If Nick Broomfield never found anyone with affection for Courtney Love, it's only because he conspicuously avoided the countless friends, colleagues and fans who appreciate her talent and admire her as a person. But then, why would Broomfield have opened up his film to those of us who work with Courtney and are close to her when there are so many bitter left - behinds and desperate attention - seekers eager to validate his attack on her character? Inquisitors in every age, scared of forceful women, have used all kinds of half - baked testimony to whip up chants of 'Burn the witch!'
