Quote

Films take up so much time, and with theatre, you do have to plan a period of time that you can be free.

It's a harder time to make original, less conventional movies. But God, we need them!

I love films that are made with almost no budget.

It is up to us to produce better-quality movies.

I want to encourage the non-star, low-profile film, and maybe we've got a chance.

It's becoming increasingly harder and harder; there's no such thing as independent film anymore. There aren't any, they don't exist. In the old days you could go and get a certain amount of the budget with foreign sales, now everybody wants a marketable angle.

As intelligent and responsible filmmakers, working in a free society, we have a duty to ensure that our chosen medium is a force for good. Especially in this ever-more complex and difficult world.

I want all my films to do well.

You can get any film now basically for free, and that's where I think the model we're talking about is - if you give people what they want, how they want it and when they want it, they're more likely to pay for it.
