I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.
The future of American film lies on television.
As a filmmaker, I've had films that over-achieved and I've had films that under-achieved. You always go in trying to do your very best.
I like fashion, but I love, love, love music and film; they are my two passions. I would love to pursue my acting and my love of music more than anything.
It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than (one) film.
I've directed independent film.
No-one gets beaten to death quite like Hilary Swank
This must be a real horrorshow film if you're so keen on my viddying it.
My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form.
I only shoot on film. I like the quality, the grain and the imperfections. It offers me something much more rewarding than any digital camera can give me. I believe the extra expense is worth it.
I don't care about the quality of the film as a whole, but I loved 'Salt. ' I loved it!
You should see me during an action film. I look like an abuse victim.
I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.
In the case of a film like The Exorcist or To Live and Die in L. A. , I saw the whole movie in my head before I went to shoot it. I never did storyboards, or anything like that. I had the film in my head.
I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.
I wrote Murder at the Windmill. And it was accepted and we made it and it was the first film I made with Danny Angel, well the only film I actually made. . . I made a lot of it at the Windmill itself.
I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.
I might do a film someday for the collection. I love designing sets and creating environments, in film school and for my own presentations. I love telling stories.
I have somewhat lost my enthusiasm in the last years. Mainly because film students using digital video these days have not really produced anything which is more than superficial or simplistic; so I have my doubts.
I learned what I really love is making films, not the film business. I want to be on the set, meeting with writers, I want that freedom. I love it now.
