One thing I want to say: I don't like victim stories and I don't write them.

Usually the audience has no idea that the censored version of whatever movie they're watching isn't the original.

And that's just what I'm saying. I would never want to be like certain people, who change the way they dress, go out in disguise, wear a big floppy hat and dark shades. I would hate that.

That is definitely a misunderstanding between me and a part of my audience. To be honest, I am often unsettled by the responses some people have had to my movies, and that includes many people who like them.

It is true that the movie is perhaps my most politically-charged. The story is thrust into motion by the idea of what do you do when your 13 year old daughter comes home pregnant. And not only is she pregnant, but she wants to keep the baby.

I love working with actors. I do.

I can't please everybody and I don't try to. If I can please myself that's enough. For the rest, I just hope for the best.
