There's a side that I want to do just like really retarded arty films like parody, pretentious art films that kind of are supposed to have some deep meaning.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an artist, all I want is to be a part of good films.
The things I want to make into a film, they're personal, esoteric things, and I don't expect anyone else to like them as much as I do. I generally like my films more than anybody else will.
Once in a while, I need to go out of my way to do different films, to exploit all commercial angles to cater to the masses.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
I really appreciate anyone trying to inject art into mainstream film.
I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention.
Write the kind of movie you would want to see, in a genre you love.
The films I grew up loving, and the art that I love, is not generally the kind of postmodern ironic winking stuff. What lasts is the stuff in which the artists are totally in league with the subject.
I look back at my filmography, and I'm pretty jazzed with the stuff I've been part of. They're all movies I'd like to see.
I don't want to make pompous, serious films; I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.
