I can't get hired in a studio movie. Everything is so uphill.

I could not finance a movie on my own. Frankly, I could not even afford to take a year off. I, like most people in America, need to keep making money.

I'm trying to work in studio movies, but they won't hire me.

It is not like casting me in your movie is going to help you get financing.

Sometimes you have to make a movie to make money.

One thing I know is that I don't want to be a director for hire, making genre films.

Very, very rare that you do a job knowing that the audience is desperate for you to do that job. Most films you make don't get released, is the fact.

That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.

I'd like to make mistakes on my own dime and not have a herd of people tell me what I'm doing wrong. and I'm also still trying to find and develop my voice as a filmmaker, and I think that's easier to do on your own terms than trying to satisfy a bunch of people that are paying for the movie.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.
