Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.

I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn't pay to see, or something that didn't challenge me.

I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.

If my life was a movie, no one would believe it.

I think making a film that you think is good and you believe in is going to be difficult forever.

I don't want at the end of my life to look back at just a bunch of fictional movies I was involved in that kept taking me away from the real world.

I think it would be frustrating having to do things you wouldn't want to do, having to make movies you didn't like.

I'm not sure that I would have become a Christian if I had continued to live in Hollywood because the notion wouldn't have occurred to me.

But, yeah, I'd love to do something else in someone else's movie.

I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.
