But my sense in talking to people when I travel is that the film business is not that dissimilar from a lot of other businesses.

I'm sure some people will say, 'Why do this?' And my response is, 'Why wouldn't you?' The film business in general is using a model that is outdated and, worse than that, inefficient.

When a film like Chris Nolan's Memento cannot get picked up, to me independent film is over. It's dead.

The subject of the film is too serious for show business. There's enough anti-Semitism in the movie without bringing in a live example.

[LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The movie business is] out of whack, ... The studio model has to be rethought.

I guess why the Ocean's films are hard for me is because on the one hand you have to make sure the performances are there, but on the other hand it's a film that demands, to my mind, a very layered and complex visual scheme. That takes a lot of time to figure out.
