I've sort of closed my mind off to reality shows: I just don't watch them, don't care about them, don't know who the characters are, but they're all in general usage.

I go to a lot of independents and foreign films. I really try to keep up and see what there is to see. If you really love movies, it's the act of watching them that you really love. You can sit and watch a B-Western and have just as much fun watching that as you can a classic. That minute when the lights go down is the part where the magic happens, because you know this could be great. You're always kind of excited, like, "Here I am again in the church of movies, and Mass is starting.".

My generation remembered going to the movies as an event. We would see these things, we would bring them home, and we would think about them for years because it would take a long time before they would go on television where you could re-experience the fun that you had when you watched them.

Finding a writer who can write decent kids' dialog and finding kids that can act realistically and not 'cute' is an effort.

There go the goddamn brownies!

I love 'Evil Dead 2!' Who doesn't love 'Evil Dead 2?

One of the things I've always tried to do is to inject myself as much as possible into the movie, so I feel like it's mine.
