If you stay true to your ideas, film-making becomes an inside-out, honest kind of process.

I get called to do a lot of labors of love... independent films on very small budgets. If I have the time and if the project speaks to me, it's better than sitting around, right?

We've been working with the very best in the business. The studio really just let us alone to make the films.

I think if you don't feel passionate about the first movie you're doing, in the end the project will lack something because you don't have enough experience to make the movie something special.

Film is my big problem. I am involved too much. I love too much. I've been trying to resolve it for 35 years now, but for now, I have to keep making them.

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 love making films, and as long as I love the subject, I just have a crazy amount of passion and energy for the project.

Well, I think just the fact that you are making your first film is a huge step.

Well, first of all, making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.
