You can mix in certain sensitivities as a filmmaker.

I was an audience member before I'm a filmmaker. All I've tried to do as a filmmaker was to make movies I want to see.

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

When you're a filmmaker you're part of a very expensive art form.

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.

As a European filmmaker, you can not make a genre film seriously. You can only make a parody.

Being a filmmaker in the digital platform has given me complete creative control. I can make what I want, when I want. I don't have to wait to book an audition.

A film has to be for commercial success as well as earn you respect as an artist. You don't want to do only things that are designed to run commercially, and neither do you want to do things that get acclaim but don't run.

You take some creative license when you make a movie, and things can be a little bit different.

I make charts of songs that are good candidates, good targets, so to speak. Then I try to come up with ideas for parodies. And 99% of those ideas are horrible.
