You know, I find it very strange when movies that I made that were just excoriated - I mean that I was just vilified for - are now looked at as classics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've made movies that nobody saw initially, and then, all the sudden, people over the years pick up on it. Like 'Spinal Tap' and 'Princess Bride.'
You're basically the sum of all the experiences you've ever had, and they're sort of shaken up in you and reproduced in the things you create, and that includes seeing movies.
I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention.
It's a harder time to make original, less conventional movies. But God, we need them!
Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.
As a viewer, I never want any movie ruined for me, no matter what the genre is.
I think that in some cases, I've made films that have a sentimental quality, at least as part of the film.
When I stopped making films, they were getting on to the more realistic films and the explicit films and all. They were depicting life as it is, and some of it was unpleasant. I gradually moved away from that.
When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.
I've done a lot of films that have become iconic, not necessarily because of me.
