Making movies is a dangerous job. Because you are always the one who stands at the center of the universe when making movies.

There are certain filmmakers I'd like to work with that I don't think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It'll take a couple films to prove to them that it's worth the risk.

I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It's really risky.

I've never done a big studio film, I've only ever done little ones.

As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.

I am not going to do a film based on a bad scenario just to make a big Hollywood film or work with Hollywood stars.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

I've dealt with Hollywood about having my work made into a film or cartoon but nothing came of it. That's not to say I wouldn't like to see something happen.

It's hard to get a film, you know, you need a very special film to be able to get that experimental. But, I would love to see that happen. I would love the opportunity to be more experimental than I am.

Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.
