I don't really enjoy filming.

It's easier for me to get three times the amount of money I really want.

When I read Housekeeping, it wasn't from the point of filming. It was months and months later that the idea of making it into a movie caught.

The studio system reminds me of the stock market.

Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.

The movie business is very much like that: people in authority making purely emotional decisions instead of interesting rational ones.
