| 1 | The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance. |
| 2 | With Fever (1999), the film was so made for the screen, and there's so much surround sound that was done for the film - enormous detail paid to that. I wasn't thinking video, because I didn't know how it was going to turn out. |
| 3 | The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris (1972), like Alien (1979) had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element. |
| 4 | The film, even when we were making it in that budget range, which was really a coup - we got it made because we pitched it to the studio head, Joe Roth. |
| 5 | Like I said about Freaked (1993), people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture. |
| 6 | I'm not saying it isn't frustrating that my films haven't gotten a bigger release, but I'm really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just won't. |
| 7 | That's kind of the weird thing that M. Night Shyamalan has sort of unleashed upon the world is this need for every movie to have these ridiculous endings. |
| 8 | The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment. |
| 9 | They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em. |
| 10 | After living in LA for 8 years, I sort of wanted a change, but there's not much production in New York, which is where I primarily live, so I just sort of drifted over to London. |
| 11 | I'm really influenced by so many different things. |
| 12 | It's hard for a hit to be bad for your career. |
| 13 | Same thing, like my commercials are often times really funny because I tend to find 30 seconds is a really good amount of time to tell a joke. |
| 14 | I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen. |
| 15 | I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you. |
| 16 | I'm one of the few people who really like Eyes Wide Shut (1999). |
| 17 | I'm not trying to be some kind of underground renegade. |
| 18 | I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking. |
| 19 | I actually did use to sell shoes. |
| 20 | I really love sort of classical cinema where people were telling stories with very little dialogue, and people were using the camera in a really interesting way. |
| 21 | I direct a lot of TV commercials and music videos. |
| 22 | Coppola has problems getting financing, so why should I not have problems getting financing. |
| 23 | But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on. |
| 24 | My favorite favorites are people like Bunuel, Fellini and Charlie Chaplin. |
| 25 | Certain remakes are great. [John] Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is better than the original. |
| 26 | I get very driven by certain themes and ideas. |
| 27 | I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it. |
| 28 | Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies. |
