I like movies that work on two levels - like The Simpsons, kids can watch it and adults can watch it. Teenagers can watch Hostel and if they want to see a blood and guts violent movie they're going to have a great time. They're going to scream and yell, it's a great date movie because they're going to squeeze their date and their date is probably going to be too scared to go home... so you take them home and put on Dirty Dancing and everybody wins.

As a kid, I was the neighbourhood baby-sitter - very responsible, always in charge.

Borat shows American stereotypes of Eastern Europe but it's an accurate depiction of what a certain type of American is. They think they can buy and sell these girls and then they get bought and sold.

If someone gets up and walks out of the movie, it means it's really affected them.

Anytime you make a movie, the goal is a wide theatrical release, with the right distributor.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.
