If you make an American film with a beginning, a middle and an end, with a budget of less than five million dollars, you must be an idiot to lose money.

The film business is the only business where a negative is a positive.

I make films, love them, sometimes I also do an excellent job. I don't consider myself an Ingmar Bergman, I don't make "message" films. I make them for the audience in the theater who doesn't get bored, laughs at a comedy, cries at a tragedy, with a lot of emotion. I'm hoping that there's still a future.

For me a director is a director, he dictates the piece, creates it and I need to help him. The producer brings together all the elements that make it possible for the director to make the film - develop the script, hire the actors, hire the director and then work together with him. The director is the architect and the producer is the engineer.
