I have as much artistic freedom in my television work as I have in my films.

My plan was to stay in Canada to make films.

I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films.

Sylvester has a great popular sense, as good as any writer I've ever worked with. He knows what audiences want to see, and what they don't want to see.

When you're actually making the film, you're constantly battling to maintain its integrity.

But when I direct I become possessed, a possession I've never quite understood.
