Hollywood Has A Way Of Sucking The

People Think Drama Drives Story, But I Think The Comedy Is Really The Heart And Soul.

I'm So Happy And Relieved For The Indie Spirited Film World Because ... I Don't Even Know If It's Indie, It's Just Alternative Cinema That's Just Different Than What The Studios Are Doing And It's A Big Variety In That Category. Everyone Always Is Complaining About The Film Industry But I Think It's Important To Acknowledge When It's Actually A Pretty Good Time When That Comes Back Around. I'd Be Remiss Not To Say, "hey, It's A Pretty Good Era Right Now For These Reasons," And Maybe That Doesn't Last Or Maybe It Does, But I Will Acknowledge It.

I'd Be Fine If There Weren't Film Festivals, And You Just Made Your Films And Didn't Have To Do Anything From That Point On. That Would Be Really Great, Wouldn't It? I Don't Know. I'm In Kind Of An Aloof Time, Where I'm Not Taking Anything Too Seriously.

I Have A Lot Of Films That I Haven't Gotten Made, And That Continues To Trouble Me. But Someday, Some Way Or Another, I Think I Will. It's All About Timing. There's A Moment When You're Hot And Studios Will Make Your Next Film, And Then There's A Moment When You're Really Cold, And They Couldn't Care Less What You Want To Do Next. That's When You Have To Recede And Make Lower-budgeted Films.

It's Hard To See A Film One Time And Really "get It," And Write Fully And Intelligently About It. That's A Review. That's Not Film Criticism. And There's So Many Expectations Involved, Too. You're Going In To See The Latest Martin Scorsese Or Stanley Kubrick Film, You Really Have High Hopes, And You Can't Help But Find That It's Not Exactly What You Had In Your Head Going In. Until You Can Watch It Again, You Can't Accept The Work For What It Intends To Be. It Takes At Least A Second Viewing.
