Independent film is film that has thought in it. There's no independent thought in studio films. It's collective thought.

With independent film, simply because they don't have the money to make a big-budget film, they're forced to make a story that's important to them, that they would like to see on film, a personal story that people can relate to, about people, where you can see the love of the characters.

I'd like to do an independent film.

People in independent film have a passion; they're not in it for the money.

Independent film is for actors that love to act.

Independent film is not only an oxymoron; it doesn't exist anymore.
