Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.
I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.
It's interesting to help someone find their vocabulary. There would not have been a De Niro without a Scorsese.
I try to stay under the radar.
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.
Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.
