If You Write A Movie For Roger

As A Screenwriter I'm Often Writing In Genres Where There Have Been Thousands Of Movies; Whereas When I Direct Movies They Tend To Be In Between Genres. They Tend To Have A Little Bit Of A Genre To Them, But They're Really About The People, And They're People We Haven't Met Before.

I Probably Wouldn't Have Done As Many As I Did In One Year, Which I Did When I Was Trying To Raise Money.

I Figured, 'when Is That Ever Going To Happen Again?'. So I Basically Set Out The Opposite Way Movies Are Made; I Set Out With A Budget First. I Said, 'what Can I Do Well For $40,000?'.

I Always Feel That There Are No Final Victories And No Final Defeats. But It's True That America Is In A Hole Right Now. There Are A Lot Of Dead Fish In The Water.

I Never Actually Do Rehearsals. That's One Of The Reasons That I Write Those Bios And If I Can Meet With The Actors I'll Meet Them Or Talk To Them On The Phone. What I Want Is For Them To Come On Set Knowing Their Lines And Knowing Who The Character Is.
