If it's independent, it's because I love it... 'cause they usually end up costing me money to do.

I think that initial independence is very important; that's what being an entrepreneur is all about.

Second, we have to make the most of the strengths we have, the amenities that many of our competitors cannot replicate. But again, those advantages won't mean much if we don't do a great job with the basics of our business.

My fundamental tenets are concerned with freedom of the individual; the market isn't perfect, but it's the best available way of allocating resources.

A company's best advantage should be a quality product offered at the right price. That fair competition is what drives innovation.

I prefer leaving things to the market as much as possible.

I think overall it is better for businesses to stay private because you have more latitude, more freedom.

I know this independence is what people like most about my brand.

The government has got to do something to help independent businesses.

I really do like the independent way of working. You don't get much studio intrusion compared to when you're working on a big Hollywood film where there tends to always be loads of people interfering. The only problem, though, with independent features is that they are hard to sell.
