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

Getting movies made is not as difficult as people think. Making movies is easy. You get a script, you get a director, you raise the money, you make the movie.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.

I want my films to get audiences. I am not interested in making them just for myself.

You have to draw on your unconscious when you make a film - you can't worry about whether it's costing a lot of money.

You have to have a certain amount of limitations, I think, to make art and to make something that can be alive on film. Money can get in the way of that.

It feels very, very good to make a film freely, to work without having to wait years for script approval, without looking over your shoulder.

It's just hard to get an independent film made.

When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.

Making movies is both entirely ludicrous and incredibly hard. It's a preposterous way to spend your time. You give up a lot for the privilege of doing it, and one of the things you get are relationships of immense trust that you see forged in situations of immense stress.
