When I started 'Hudson Hawk,' I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this - the guy who hadn't proven anything in terms of box-office success.
From Michael Lehmann
I'm not a macho guy. I'm very soft-spoken on the set. But I'm not really intimidated by the process of making movies.
In the past, my aspirations were as arty as they could get, and I'm really embarrassed by it.
I just can't operate with any direct awareness of the pressures I might be under.
I've made movies that are real boy movies - but I've had so much fun over the years working with women and getting good performances with women and with strong female characters.
I can't make a choice to do a movie because people will go see it. People look at what a movie becomes and decide if they'll see it.
People always say, 'Why don't you make more movies like 'Heathers'?' And I say, 'I've been trying for 20 years.'
I can't tell you how hard it is to make a dark-humored movie in Hollywood.
