absorb chance deal films great information offer subject viewers
Documentary films offer viewers a chance to absorb a great deal more information about a subject or issue.
changed films instead people
There's going to be a lot of films in there that people are just not going to like at all. That's part of the deal. I don't think it's changed. What has changed is now, instead of 350 people there, as it was the first year, there's 40,000, 45,000.
effect fare films
Films don't always tell a story; some films can achieve effect just by being razzle-dazzle or rock n' roll. That's part of the fare that's out there. And that's okay. For me, I place more value on a story.
becomes business films hard love performing unfinished
The business has changed, ... The business is what it is; it's a business. Therefore, it's hard to do the films like 'An Unfinished Life' that are more humanistic. I've always been selective, and usually like to do my own things. But as that narrows down, it becomes more and more difficult. But I love it. My love is performing and directing.

The film is very, very different from the normal kind of films that are coming out right now.

I love making films more than anything, but it's tough.

I'm not interested in a film about golf but I am interested in golf as a metaphor.

'Butch Cassidy' was the only film I ever enjoyed making.
thinking film
I think Hollywood... well, there is no Hollywood anymore so let's just call it the mainstream since the business is no longer Hollywood producing its own films and then distributing, they just distribute.
film
The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.
technology stories film
The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.
beginning bound create criticized fail happy
We could create something that was criticized in the beginning as bound to fail because it wasn't commercial. And it has worked, and I'm happy with it.
alone came leave milk sequel stuff
The stuff that came to us wasn't any good, ... (They said) can you do a sequel to 'The Sting?' No, leave that one alone ... don't try to milk it.
funny passengers
We do not own this place, we are just passengers
