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

You can make a movie about anything, as long as it has a hook to hang the advertising on.

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

Jim Cameron is proof that if you are good, you'll get promoted.

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.

You learn, of course, when you're working with something good, but you also can learn when you're working with things that are not good. You can see the reasons they're not good. I would sometimes suggest what could be done, but essentially say "It isn't worth the bother." So I learned from that process.

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