I think you get in trouble if you make experimental big studio films.

I think there are more films being made, but there are probably less outlets for them and distributors.

I think they should make it a felony to criticise a film product. Particularly my film product. It's anti-American.

I think indie films have more of a fresh, experimental vibe about them, whereas studio films know what they want and can basically get it.

I look up and go, 'I'm living in the world I visualized a long time ago.' From making movies, to the Film Society, to just being in a film world. It's a life that I wanted to inhabit. I think everyone has the opportunity to do that in this world - it's just, are you gonna work for it, and how much does it mean to you?

I remember when I made 'A Scanner Darkly,' going, 'I hope people see it in theater - but I think it's going to be seen in someone's room at two in the morning.' It's that kind of movie. And I would have loved if it had been available on multiple formats at the moment it opened.
