People are making better and better small budge independent films these days.

It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You've got your big commerce and you've got your small films that you're more passionate about.

Fifty-million-dollar movies gobble up the medium movies. A lot of people aren't working in Hollywood because of this.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

Making a big Hollywood film that really affects people is as hard as making a small movie on a credit card.

Now, more then ever, we have the ability to make films for almost nothing and that's broken down all barriers of entry. I think it's a new golden age of film-making. With that, there needs to be the ability to recoup investment dollars, people need to make money.

Ultimately, the film industry has always pushed out its biggies, and I don't have a problem with that. I just wish that we'd spend more time nurturing the smaller ones.

You do small movies because the script is good and because you believe in the director. You don't care about the money. And when they disappear, it's a pity.

Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.

Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money.
