You can have 10 bucks to 10 million bucks and if you got a crew, imagination and a lot of people willing to turn in some work next to nothing, you going to have a feature. But you can't get beyond how expensive marketing the movie is, it's so crushing.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel, it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero, where there's no expectations, and that's where I like to be.

I've always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I'm feeling in the moment.

Haven't two hundred years of failed missionary work overseas taught anybody anything? You can't convert people to anything - whether religion, or something as inane as our flicks.

Keep your focus on what YOU want to do - not what anyone else wants or is doing. You lose time watching others succeed.

People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low.

It's silly that anyone in this world tells you that there are only certain people that can marry you.
