I think that in America there is a new movement of underground movies that wants to kick the ass of independent films that they think whine too much.

I can't complain about anything. It's like saying, "I don't like talkies." Time marches on and I don't care how people watch my movies as long as they see them.

Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.
