I've been in this business 31 years. I've never had a movie deal.

The strange thing is that since I've been offered lots of films I think that maybe they think that I've sold out to Hollywood. Which is not the case if anybody's listening.

I haven't signed as many films as I'd like to because there are no good roles, as disheartening as it is to say.

My movies don't make any money, and they don't really light the world on fire. But I'm really lucky because I've gotten them made.

From the moment I went to Hollywood for the first time, I was accused by various people of selling out. So I feel I've done my sell-out films already. I've sold everything! I've sold every piece of soul I ever had!

Some of the big movies, you get checks for a long, long time.

Luckily, I haven't been offered any $300 million movies that I hate. So I'm not in that predicament just yet.

I've never made a film that lost money.

You do small movies because the script is good and because you believe in the director. You don't care about the money. And when they disappear, it's a pity.
