macho movies
I'm not a macho guy. I'm very soft-spoken on the set. But I'm not really intimidated by the process of making movies.
both cats centered characters ends female feminine girl good mostly movies truth ways weird
I've done movies that have mostly feminine characters and elements, and I think that both 'Heathers' and 'Truth About Cats and Dogs' are, in their own weird ways - they're different ends of the girl movie spectrum, but they're very much centered around the female characters, and I like those movies, and I like working with good actresses.
anybody based funny movies passionate stylistic vision
It's funny: as a director, there are movies you make because you're passionate about getting your vision across, and you know that you're vision is different than anybody else. In those cases, you take the plunge, and it works, or it doesn't. You make the stylistic choices based on how you feel about the material.
boy female fun good movies strong women
I've made movies that are real boy movies - but I've had so much fun over the years working with women and getting good performances with women and with strong female characters.
hard
I can't tell you how hard it is to make a dark-humored movie in Hollywood.
good sequels time
I don't like sequels at all. If the movie's good the first time, why bother?
good job
You want the actor to be happy with the movie. You really want the actor to think they did a good job and all that.
specific time took
A movie as specific as 'Heathers,' which took place in a specific time and specific place and in which many of the characters got killed off, I never thought it made sense to see a sequel.
