I never turned down a movie because they wouldn't give me enough money.

I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.

Violence doesn't seem to bother people anymore - they're inured to it. And I think it has a lot to do with the violence in movies and video games - it doesn't bother people as much. I'm not so sure it evokes a reaction anymore.

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.
