Motion pictures are the art form of the 20th century, and one of the reasons is the fact that films are a slightly corrupted artform. They fit this century - they combine Art and business!

One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.

I was young, so I was part of youth culture. The years went by, I became older and no longer part of youth culture, and I became more dependent upon the young people in the office and my own children.

First, you have to be intelligent. I have never met a successful director who isn't intelligent. A director who is not intelligent might have one hit picture, but he won't be able to follow it up. So I look for intelligence.

I love the process of making films and an incidental satisfaction is the fact that most of them made money.

People gravitate occasionally to the brilliantly made art low budget films, which is maybe one out of every five hundred low budget films made.

I've never made the film I wanted to make. No matter what happens, it never turns out exactly as I hoped.
