The whole reason one wants to do lower budget films is because the lower the budget, the bigger the ideas, the bigger the themes, the more interesting the art.

I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.

When a movie is about to come out on its initial debut, there are a lot of people involved - the financiers, the studio and the producers and also, many times, the foreign distributors. So it is a time of tremendous pressure and uncertainty.

Films and hotels have many aspects that are the same. For example, there is always a big vision, an idea.

Work on nothing less than epic scale

I probably have genius. But no talent.

The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it.
