When you have satire, it has to be real. No matter how outrageous the comedy becomes, you have to believe in the characters.

It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.

I've done a couple of movies for scale, and it's the only way to get a lot of these independent movies made. The actors negotiate deals where they're given just enough money to live on during the filming, but then they participate in the back-end. If the movie suddenly makes a gazillion dollars, we'll participate in that profit.

Ambition without contribution is of no significance.
