I am miserable when I'm in a movie I'm not proud of and a movie that I don't want to do.

People are sheepish when they approach me.

But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.

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

Granted, there are times when, for business reasons, you do something that's more mainstream. But even then, I try to find something that has a dark or subversive aspect.

There was a time - before I made movies - when I was more forgiving, but now that I've learned as much as I have, I want to do movies that I want to see, that have their own unique flavor.

The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.
