For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don't do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck.

Movies are an expensive business.

It is extremely difficult to get movies that cost more than $40 million to be made these days.

Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.

Nowadays the big Hollywood studios only make about three movies a year, and they cost about $200 million each. There's no room for error in that, and not a lot of room, I would think, for free expression.

It kind of irks me that the studio films still have to be so safe even though they don't really cost as much to make.

I believe in making movies very inexpensively; I think that way too much money is spent on making movies. Enough movies are being made, but not enough experimental ones.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.

Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.

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