People are making better and better small budge independent films these days.

Ultimately, the film industry has always pushed out its biggies, and I don't have a problem with that. I just wish that we'd spend more time nurturing the smaller ones.

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

I think the problem I have with films is that, because there's so much hype around them, they become bigger than they should be, really. There are things that people do every day in their little workshops that they'll take to heaven with them. You've got to realise that it's not everything, making films.

There are certain films you want to see on the big screen.

The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.

It doesn't matter how big or small your film is: you still don't have enough money. You don't have enough time to shoot it.

Film is built for kinetic movement and crash and burn. It's a great tool for spectacles. But if it's not rooted to something a little higher, you're just kicking your butt around the corner. You can only take so much of that. You have to have some sort of foundation to explode from.

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.

I don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.
