It's taken me 15 years to step behind a camera and make something everyone agrees looks like a movie.

People always ask me if I hate the nuns. Do I make my movies extra dirty to piss them off? I always say no, that's not the point. To a Catholic, a movie is only dirty if it makes you want to have sex more. If it makes you feel sick, disgusted, ashamed of your own body, then it's not a dirty movie at all. It's a Catholic movie. And I make very Catholic movies.

I say what other people won't.

In this life, if you don't celebrate yourself, nobody will.

It's like a dream come true. When somebody is paying you to talk about yourself, you've won.

For years, my job was to make the movie inexpensively. And I could bring it in. What I can't control are the costs of marketing.

I try never to worry in general. Worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.
