In this day and age, you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.

I don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.

Everybody knows that I am not usually patient enough to actually sit down and watch one of my own films from the beginning to the end - I never do.

What's really frustrating with movies is the lack of improvement.

Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I'm not always happy with that.

I don't believe moviegoers don't have patience. Screenwriters are told a scene can't be longer than three minutes, that you have to cut to the chase. Not true!

My movies are not messed with by the studios.

Movies require a lot of patience. I like instant results. If I have done something that's not funny at all, the audience will let me know in two seconds. With the movie, I will have to wait nine months to know if I was that bad.

With all my films, the pace is not very fast, and so people get bored with them and comment that they're just people talking in rooms and all that.

When my films don't do well, I'm hurt and surprised. It's discouraging.
