On the first feature, everything's new. No matter what you're doing, it's a new experience, and you don't really have control over it, in a way, because you just don't know how things work.

I find making trailers really frustrating, because sometimes the worst trailers are for the best movies.

It's never been about making money.

Movies in general are more generic. If something sells just make more. That's Hollywood.

I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.

You know... the only person I really had to please after a point was the MPAA. Because Lions' Gate was like, hey, whatever you can get away with is fine, we don't care.

I wanted it to be like a high quality, drive-in movie.
