I feel a lot of films that are shot digitally, even low-budget independent films, they look super slick now. Because the technology is so good that they look too good.

Apparently I work for free, look at some of the independent films I've done.

A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.

My good films were independent and my bad films were not.

I think that there's a lot more freedom in the low budget, the independent films where, unfortunately, you don't have the money, necessarily, to get the orchestras in there to play a lot of stuff. But, you have a lot more freedom, very often.

I've been blessed in my career to be able to do studio and independent films.
