When I'm making an American film, it's more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, 'What are you doing!? Tell me first!' There are so many restrictions. ↗

'St. Elmo's Fire' is one of my favorite films. I like the storytelling of those teenage American films. You don't get that now. Teenage American movies are all about sick jokes, puking a lot, arse jokes. ↗

American films are terribly popular all over the world and American movie stars are terribly important. I don't know why. ↗

Um, 'Soul Food'... Another wonderful little movie that could. Here's a film that, I think our budget was maybe $6 million. We shot it in Chicago in six weeks. I was so proud of the film, because it showed America that an African-American film about family could sell, could do well, could cross over and have true meaning. ↗

When I first envisioned 'Funny Games' in the mid-1990s, it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable. ↗

The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman alone. ↗

I'd rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films. ↗

There's an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled. ↗
