I never made movies that had any of my music. I haven't crossed them over that much.

There`s always the trick with anything what`s a remake. Like how much do you want to make that is brand new and how much to you want to keep that is original?

I think probably the scariest thing, as weird as it sounds, was 'The Wizard of Oz' and the flying monkeys with the witch. I remember seeing that - it still seems freaky.

By the time we got to MGM, and Lions Gate the movie was done there was nothing else to say. It was done. Just as at Universal, it was art by committee.

You can't make everyone happy right away, you can't figure out what people want you to do, you just have to do what you want to do and hope it works out.

NC-17 means that you get it in like 3 theaters. They won't run the spots on MTV, won't run the advertising. It's the kiss of death so there was really no other choice.

I like being organized and super particular.
