I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.

You do what it takes. It was on me to deliver.

I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.

It's rare that you cut out something that is really good. You screen all of it, and when the audience doesn't respond, you cut out whatever is holding the story down.

In rare instances you have to give up what you thought was a great scene.

Slot machines are like crack for old people.

Just making a good movie is hard to do.
