Somewhat Dramatic Things Happen, And You Don't

Whenever I'm Asked About Independent Cinema, I Think Of What Fidel Castro Said During The Cold War About The League Of Non-aligned Nations. He Said That Really, There Were Only Two Non-aligned Nations: The U.s. And The Ussr. The Rest Of Us Have To Be Aligned Somewhere. I Say Similarly, In A Way, Paramount, Sony, And Warner Bros. Are The Only True Independents, Because They're The Only Ones Who Can Do Whatever They Want And Have Distribution For Their Films Built In.

I Like Actors Who, When You See Them On Screen, You Sense A Person, Not Just An Actor.

I Think A Badly Crafted, Great Idea For A New Film With A Ton Of Spelling Mistakes Is Just 100 Times Better Than A Well-crafted Stale Script.

Each One Of My Movies Becomes Easier To Get Off The Ground.

I Always Wanted 'sideways' To Be Like A Great 1960s Italian Film.
