Even a low-budget film costs way more money than a high-priced record. So, it's mo' money, mo' problems. When you have more money, it just creates more people trying to get involved and you have more trouble.

If you have a lot of money, you know that you can make almost anything happen, but with a smaller budget you don't have a lot of time or too many resources, so you have to conceive things in a very simple manner and make them happen fast.

I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama.

I'm definitely of the mindset of "I wouldn't want to be part of any group that would have me as a member."

Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.

As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.

I like European movies because it seems those audiences are a little more patient. Those movies are always slower, where over here, the studio system freaks out if something doesn't happen every five minutes or if anything is confusing.
