I get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I have a real interest in pushing some of the limits of things that studios don't want to make.
Music video directors, who conceive, write and direct these works, enjoy no creative rights, receive no ongoing financial benefit from the sale of our work, and many times are not even credited.
I get to go make music, and I get paid to do it, and this is what people love me for. I couldn't ask for anything greater, so how could I not go in the studio and make a million songs?
I have had a lot of cool offers to move into traditional media, but I'm not completely sold I have to do that.
Personally, I'm not interested in getting more money for what I do; I'm just interested in more money being put into the production.
Without doing the big blockbusters, I wouldn't be able to find the money to go after little projects that I want to do.
I need three million dollars to make a low-budget, intellectual, artistic, exciting, erotic movie with a great soundtrack.
I don't want to make niche-oriented music.
I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.
