I'm not saying it isn't frustrating that my films haven't gotten a bigger release, but I'm really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won't.
I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.
Same thing, like my commercials are often times really funny because I tend to find 30 seconds is a really good amount of time to tell a joke.
Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.
My favorite favorites are people like Bunuel, Fellini and Charlie Chaplin.
Certain remakes are great. Carpenter's The Thing is better than the original.
I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos.
I actually did use to sell shoes.
Coppola has problems getting financing, so why should I not have problems getting financing.
After living in LA for 8 years, I sort of wanted a change, but there's not much production in New York, which is where I primarily live, so I just sort of drifted over to London.
But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on.
Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies.
I get very driven by certain themes and ideas.
One man's accuracy is another man's bullshit.
