budgets nasty three tiny weeks
It was a cheap, nasty movie that was cranked out in three weeks on a tiny budget.
amazing change influence people piece powerful work
It's amazing how powerful a piece of work can be and how it can influence people and change. It's pretty interesting.
break factory hollywood realize
Hollywood is a factory. You have to realize that you are working in a factory and you're part of the mechanism. If you break down, you'll be replaced.
independence chance film
Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.
successful opportunity thinking
I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.
hilarious sugar
What are you looking at sugar-tits?
nice home dark
Theatrical is fantastic. I don't think anything will ever replace the big dark room, the screen and the popcorn. You can kind of do it in your home if you have a nice screen, but it's not the same thing.
clever worry should
One should not worry about the future, particularly if it hasn't happened yet.

numbers scales humiliation
You ask anybody what their number one fear is, and it's public humiliation. Multiply that on a global scale, and that's what I've been through.
father worry too-much
My father told me very early on that it was a sin to worry too much.
creative going-away stuff
Go away, dig a hole, do something else, come back and it magically rejuvenates your creative impulses and stuff.
serenity pieces littles
The thing we're all looking for is happiness, and if we achieve just a modicum of that or even a little piece of serenity even for five minutes a day, we're very lucky.
