I remember seeing Amy Sedaris in a stint where she played somebody's alcoholic mother in one scene and in the next she was Ross Perot. I remember thinking she was so awesome.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.

I grew up in the '80s. I was a kid, but all my favorite movies came out of that period.

I was making films when I was about 12 years old - Super-8 films.

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.

In the '80s, I can't say that Amy and I were aware of an independent film community. We could only get a certain amount of money for our pictures, which made them low budget movies, but they were distributed through studios.

I grew up on films.

My mother never saw any of my films until she was in her late 80s, and that was 'Music of the Heart' with Meryl Streep.
