The Hardest Thing About Movies Is Doing

There Are Genres I Don't Care For, And I've Never Worked In Those Genres, And Then Sometimes There Are People That I Haven't Liked And I Haven't Worked For Those People. But If I Feel Like There's A Movie That I Would Like To Go See, I'll Jump Into It.

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.

America Is A Very Divided Country Now. Not Only Are There Red States And Blue States, There Are Now Red Facts And Blue Facts. The Right-wing Believe In Creationism. The Left In Evolution.

There Are Very Few Distributors Left To Do Off-hollywood Movies, And Those Distributors Generally Have Got Thousands Of Movies To Choose From. So You're Pretty Lucky If You Get One To Even Take Your Movie And It's Pretty Rare That They Pay Anything Upfront.

For Me The Writing, When I'm Going To Direct It Myself, Is Really Just The First Draft, And I Don't Change It Very Much; I Only Change It On Average About Two Lines Per Movie.
