It's very clearly stated in the film: You make your own choices, and what you're always fighting is ego.

It's much easier to work with an unknown.

If people are worried about the size of their trailers, I kind of say their priorities are off.

But, unfortunately, sometimes that affirmation creates a sense that you deserve special treatment and recognition in areas where you're not so talented.

The score is always the wonderful icing. The score tells you the emotional content of the film. What the characters don't say, the music can say.

I'm not in front of the camera, they are. I encourage them; I build up as much of their confidence and ego as possible. They've got to take control; I can't act it out.

The most disgusting, appalling horror of our world that we live in, to me, is sex trafficking and the enslavement of men and women, boys and girls, in the sex industry. That is the most horrific, horrific thing that's happening and it's happening in all of our towns here in Los Angeles, in New York, in London, in Paris, all over the world, and I think that's really what has to be addressed.
