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

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

I dont have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.

You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.
