I Worked Offshore As An Oil Worker

I Want To Make A Film About A Factory Worker.

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.

I Think I Got Really Lucky With Slacker. That Was A Film That Probably Shouldn't Have Been Seen.

I'm Lucky That I Get To Jump Around, Do A Big-budget Comedy And Then A Smaller Film. I Don't Even Make A Big Distinction Between Them. No One Believes This, But It's The Same. I'm The Same Person, Trying To Make It Work. I Just Love Being On A Movie Set. I Like Making Movies.

All I've Learned Is That You Need The Studio System Sometimes, If Your Budget Is A Certain Size, And Other Films You Can Do Independently. When I Think Of A Studio, I Generally Think Of Distribution. Since I'm A Director, I Have A Similar Creative Experience On Every Film I Do, Because I Can Control That. But Then It's A Different Film, I Think, As It Reaches The Public, Depending On The Way It's Marketed. I Don't Know. I Haven't Learned Much Of Anything. Sometimes You Need Them, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes They Want You, Most Of The Time They Don't.
