I Love That Feeling Of Going Into

You Can't Reinvent The Wheel. You've Got To Just Take The Best From All The Other Shows And Try To Make It Work, Because There's The "live Show Gods" That Dictate If There Are Going To Be Any Surprises, If There's A Very Commercial Film That's A Best Picture. There Are A Lot Of Things That Are Out Of My Control, But I Do My Best.

The Producer Can Put Something Together, Package It, Oversee It, Give Input. I'm The Kind Of Producer That Likes To Take A Back Seat And Let The Director Run With It. If He Needs Me, I'm There For Him. As A Director, I Like To Have The Producer There With Me. As A Producer, I Don't Want To Be There Because I Happen To Be A Director First And Foremost, I Don't Want To "that Guy."

There's No Difference Between A Tacky Jew From Miami And A Rap Star. They Both Want The Cadillac And The Rolex With The Diamonds.

I'm Not Tied To Budgets. I'm Tied To The Story That I Want To Tell, And How Much It's Going To Cost Is Up To Whatever The Economic Situation Of The Studio Is.

In This Day And Age, You Need A Lot Of Patience If You Are In The Movie Business.
