No film is made without the people behind the lens. Of course, most people, even I, tend to look at films in the most simplistic way, and say, "Wow, so-and-so is in this film." We talk about who's in it, as opposed to who got it made. But there are financial and technical aspects which go along with it, that should be addressed and acknowledged, including those minorities who are doing excellent work as well.

I don't consider myself a sociologist, I consider myself a filmmaker, among other things. Maybe an asshole but a filmmaker.

Worry is a funky luxury when a lot has to be done.

I really like to talk to people and to get their take on things.

Hollywood desires money but they could not stand the political content.

Essentially, I'm, most of all, a writer. So, what makes people tick interests me.

I make a film like I cook for friends. I hope they like it, but if they don't, I'm prepared to enjoy it all by myself.
