Cult movies are basically movies Hollywood missed the first time - that they should have gotten - and then the fans got it and made it successful.

Even small cults are a serious cost on the world economy, to victims, their families, employers, friends, and credit-card companies.

You see, 30 years ago I didn't have near the audience I have now. My tapes on the cults have reached a circulation of 15 million. those are not my figures but the figures of the people who distribute them.

I love cult movies. I probably have watched 'Big Trouble In Little China' more than anyone on the planet.

To me, film is a religion. I don't expect to get paid to make it, but I do expect total dedication.

For whatever reason, every project I do becomes sort of a cult, or a cultish show, you know, like 'Battlestar,' or even a film I did years ago, 'Kalifornia,' people refer to it as a cult film.

The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something rather sophisticated. It's almost as if it thinks it is by royal command. It has always tried to claim the high ground, not only over Hollywood but over the whole of humanity!

I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.

I don't like these commercial films I do. I'd far prefer to do more artistic films, more cult films.

It's very difficult to raise money, especially in the United States, for independent movies.
