I won't make a movie for money ever again.

The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they're artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.

To be more involved and more aware is appealing to me.

I've made 30-plus films over 20 years. And in my opinion, five of them are good.

It's nice that people want to compliment you in some superficial way, but I've never considered that that's how I might be categorized. I guess it's better than being called ugly.

I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds.

You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.
