Movies are an expensive business.

I've been told my movies are difficult to market.

And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.

I make movies for money, exclusively for money.

You can make movies for a select audience, but you have to market it to them.

Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.

You can get money and make a really cheap movie. You can, from independent financers who are just giving you money to support artists. This is what was happening in the '90s, and I was very fortunate to be a part of that.

Everything encourages you not to tell stories of gay lives. There is no economy yet for that kind of cinema.

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.
