All those years I had been making movies because I loved movies, and that's what made all the difference. If you're doing it because you love it you can succeed because you'll work harder than anyone else around you, take on challenges no one else would dare take, and come up with methods no one else would discover, especially when their prime drive is fame and fortune. All that will follow later if you really love what you do. Because your work will speak itself.

When you make an exploitation film, you always want to have a real issue. That's how they were always done.

Anyone who can only write about themselves or their life experiences, in my mind, isn't a very good writer.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream world, because it doesn't always seem too logical how things work out.

Exploitation films were famous for taking an issue an exploiting it because they could move much faster than a studio could. If there was any hot topic, they would run out and make a quick movie and make a buck on it, by changing it around and using it, in some way, to give some relevance.

I do like strong women in my movies. I have five sisters, so I've just grown up with that model.

Make DV movies so you can learn how to make films, but don't try to distribute them until they are fantastic.
