Apparently I work for free, look at some of the independent films I've done.

I'm a commercial filmmaker.

I'm not a politician; I'm lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make.

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

I want to be free... free to develop my art.

I have a freedom that's incredibly valuable. Obviously my freedom is far smaller in scale than people like Zemeckis and Spielberg have here. But it's comparable. I can dream up a project, develop it, make it, control it, release it.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

In all my life, I have never been free. I have never been able to do anything with freedom, except in the field of my writing.

You can only be free as an artist if you're free as a person.
