I offer originality: you don't know what my films are like until you go to them. I think that's the reason I've been getting all this attention. ↗

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them, anyway! ↗

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters. ↗

Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been put up to a critic. ↗

Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that's what they do in 'Harry Potter': The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they've been near the Dementors! ↗
