If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once in a while, I need to go out of my way to do different films, to exploit all commercial angles to cater to the masses.
I'm not only my films, but I'm pretty much my films.
There's an electrical thing about movies.
There are certain filmmakers I'd like to work with that I don't think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It'll take a couple films to prove to them that it's worth the risk.
I think you get in trouble if you make experimental big studio films.
I'm in this business to make films, not get deluded by the system. The system is set up to give you a headache.
I don't do a film unless it has a sword in it. And if it doesn't have a sword in it, I insist that they have one in the same room to keep me comfortable.
It's funny, though, with films, because you can incorporate a variety of elements, and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.
When I went into film, it never occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to do whatever I wanted to do. Maybe that was a good thing in the beginning. I had blinders on, and I charged forward.
I don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.
