I thought 'Mud' would be such an easy film for people to understand.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Mud' was a depository for a little more nostalgia and just a different kind of feeling, a different kind of mood. Something that's not so dark. Something that does actually have a happy ending and is a little more hopeful.
The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
Everyone starts a film thinking that it would be a big hit. But sometimes it goes haywire.
Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy.
I think that people should really understand what it takes to make a film.
Before I made a film, I thought it was easy.
I've always wanted to make 'Swamp Thing.' I like 'Swamp Thing.' I think it's a good idea, and I thought it would be a good venue for a 3-D movie, but there were rights issues with 'Swamp Thing.'
This motion-picture muddle had distracted me from my writing.
The issue for my character, and the issue of the show is, how dirty do your feet have to get without suffocating yourself in the mud in order to get an inch of what you really want done?
'Shotgun Stories' and 'Take Shelter'... I was willing to make those with no money and no time. With 'Mud,' I just wanted to protect it until I could have the resources. It's a real tricky movie.
