A movie is like a tip of an iceberg, in a way, because so little of what you do in connection with making a movie actually gets into the movie. Almost everything gets left behind.

The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.

Every movie is like a little company, and any little thing can make it not work.

The usual key to getting films made seems to be a producer's terrier-like determination not to let it go. Unfortunately, such producers often seem prone to sinking their claws into mediocre projects.

You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.

Everybody is always trying to make the best movie they can. It's a process.

Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.

People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.

Most people don't really understand what it takes to get a film made, and the struggles .I think anyone who makes a film goes through their own set of struggles.

People don't step outside themselves and make the film they want to make, because they're afraid of the reaction. But once you get that reaction and have lived through it, there's nothing they can do to get you down.
