I can't say that I wouldn't prefer to make small films, basically because I think they are probably more interesting in terms of the material. But every now and again, it's quite good to do a big one.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

I would love to do a big studio movie, just because they're going to put the money into distributing it. A lot of times you do these little movies, you love them and they never get seen by anyone.

On a studio film, you don't have to worry about running out of film or messing up your costumes; you have five other sets of it. Studio films make you the most comfortable so you can just act.

I haven't done as many films as I would have liked.

When I'm making a big movie, I miss and appreciate all the subtleties that come with making a smaller film that is more intimate, more personal.

What I realized is that it doesn't matter how big or small your film is. The actual filmmaking process, the actual storytelling, it's still the same thing. It's still all about creating characters that you like and creating moments that get you excited or get you tense.

I love huge movies. Not sure I am the guy to make them, but you can rely on me being there watching them.

I never pursued Hollywood banging my drum, because I was never in a film big enough to do that.

Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it's the way it pans out.
