In a world where we can all be our own filmmakers, the old elites are disappearing and there is no desire to look at somebody else's dream anymore because you can go off and make your own.

There is an audience out there for literate films - slower, more observant, more human films, and they deserve to be made.

I think the problem I have with films is that, because there's so much hype around them, they become bigger than they should be, really. There are things that people do every day in their little workshops that they'll take to heaven with them. You've got to realise that it's not everything, making films.

Film people are coming into TV, because they can't get any work.

Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.

Some people make a great film and then they can't follow up.

Now, more then ever, we have the ability to make films for almost nothing and that's broken down all barriers of entry. I think it's a new golden age of film-making. With that, there needs to be the ability to recoup investment dollars, people need to make money.

I think the audience know which films are aimed at their pocket, and which films are aimed at their soul. There are a lot of films out there made by people who are genuinely trying to make a change.

It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
