It's hard to get movie studios to pay a lot of money for movies that don't have robots or explosions.

Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.

My whole life I though I was the star of an overly earnest romance movie, and it turns out I was in a goddamned buddy comedy all along.

My movies are not messed with by the studios.

It costs a lot of money to release a movie. What you'd call art-house movies - movies that don't have big stars or big budgets - they're very hard for distributors to get behind 'em and take chances.

It's definitely got more explosions, crashes and thermonuclear fallout than you can decently put in a movie, ... But what also drew me to it is that it is a cautionary tale. Technology makes war seems clean and clinical unless it's you that's being attacked.
