independent giving film
Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.
independent thinking film
I think everybody's contemplating TV now, because mid-level and high-budget independent films are not being made now.
independent character film
The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.
eclectic
I've led a very eclectic life.

I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.

If you're going to take care of your kids and pay for your house and do something good for adults, you have to do something on television now.
theatre
We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.
song sometimes
Sometimes I have songs born out of stories.
song writing player
I write songs on guitar and that's about how good of a guitar player I am. I can write songs on it.

[The lyrics and melody] usually come a little simultaneously, but I would say the lyrics are first; usually I have the idea for a story in my head, or few lines.

I'm not sure that I'm really relevant as a director anymore. Or as a writer, either, to tell you the truth.
lawyer
I always wanted to play a lawyer.

The audience, that's who I care about.
mind audience
If something really strikes a chord with an audience, if it pops on TV, I don't mind watching it for a few minutes.
