I see bits and pieces of me in all the characters in my films.

I'm more than open to hope, but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road.

I wanted to tell a story that interested me as much in the telling as in the watching.

First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale, I would say they're reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that.

Movies are - all I've found is that they're just tougher and tougher to make.

Without In The Company of Men, I could still be teaching, so who knows if this would've existed.

Everyone has a story.
