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

It isn't glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines.

I make films about working class people.

This devil loves mankind because men are going to always make the choice that will send him into ascendancy. He's been winning the game for a long time.

I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.

My creative partner is a writer, and he's got an executive producing credit on this film. We've made three films together and I would never underestimate the impact of a writer.

Look at Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster: It's an incredible performance.
