As for 'Independence Day,' we never intended to do any films in that series beyond the first one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never much been interested in doing films that no one gets to see.
I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.
In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene.
Independent film is almost nonexistent right now, because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now, because it costs so much to open a movie.
I've been doing independent films for 10 years, but one out of five didn't see the light of day.
I never enjoyed working in a film.
I've done a lot of independent films that not a lot of people have seen.
I was concerned about that, because I've always been so specific about doing independent films, but I've never done anything that's so genuinely and ridiculously fun. And that's a great thing, for me to discover that that's possible.
There are a lot of movies made for nobody.
I never made a movie I would not take my family to see.
