A Movie That Costs Only $1.6 Million Doesn't Have to Be a Cultural Event to Turn a Profit.

Some filmmakers, you know, have their style and then they kind of go looking for the movie. I'm not like that. I don't have one style that I want to take from movie to movie.

I have a friend whose theory is that you're from wherever you went to high school. I think that's mostly true.

It's a weird thing to say, but it would appear to me axiomatic that if you understood fully what I was doing and appreciated it, you would like it.

I'm a big believer that if there's something you really want to do, don't walk away because of the deal.

I'm a grinder. I'll beat you because I will not sleep.

Anytime you've got something that can take you into the political realm then you've opened up the conversation a lot.
