Movies cater to what the audiences want.

The fantasy genre is so in at the moment. Viewers want to escape from their lives and watch something that is so separate from their everyday existence. People have always wanted to escape their lives - that's why they go to movies and the theatre.

I know that movies are basically meant to be entertainment, but I'm not that interested in entertainment.

It's not about choosing a specific genre; that's not how I go about deciding what movies to make.

Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.

The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.

For the most part, I think that people enjoy seeing a movie where they can just have fun in.

The thing that makes a great genre movie is one that's not just entertainment, not just horror or sci-fi or whatever. The ones I love are the genre pictures with some subversive message underlying it all.
