I think we just need to have a demand for fresh and nuanced movies.

Every film has to be the next something else; originality isn't celebrated because you can't market it.

There's only a certain number of movies I'm going to get made, and it's important to me that they each be original somehow.

It's really hard to make an original movie of any kind that succeeds in the theatrical market place, in the wide release market place.

Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.

The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance.

I don't want to produce anymore small or independent movies because it's just too hard these days.

We've been remarkably lucky in that we've been free to make the movies we've wanted to make the way we've wanted to make them. They've all been made for a price.

I just don't want to make the same old movies. I'm not interested in it. Directing's hard. It takes up a lot of your life, and I'm not that interested in making the same old film.

You just can't make any movie and it will be good now. This is a really a difficult time to be in films.
