I'm Hoping One Day I Can Make

I Always Wanted 'sideways' To Be Like A Great 1960s Italian Film.

In The Moment Of Making Films, I Want To Share My Observations Of Life, Not Of Other Films.

I Love Comedies. I Take Comedy Very Seriously As A Form. It's A Serious Form, Involving A Certain Way Of Looking At Life, Specifically The Painful Aspects Of Life. I Get Asked, "how Can You Have Such Failures In Your Films?" Well, What Else Is Life About? There's Some Sense Of Constant Failure In Something. Humor Gives You A Distance From It.

Each One Of My Movies Becomes Easier To Get Off The Ground.

This Is How Good Movies Get Made And Always Have: From The Gut Instinct Of The Financiers, Not Just By Committee And Research.
