The major studios are by and large banks, and they give you what is by and large a loan to make a movie. Like banks, they want their money back plus.

Well, I think that when you direct a movie or write it. And in the case of the two movies I did, I wrote and directed, they occupy a special place for you.

You need governance, but you also need a middle class, you need agriculture, they need to be able to export. I think that's probably the biggest issue, the job creation that could come with the kinds of things that Haiti has all the potential in the world to export.

I think if you want good things to happen for a country like Haiti, then you need to provide the circumstances where the Haitians can do that.

If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.

There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.

There is no shame in my saying that we all want to be loved.
