I like Hollywood movies. I like them like I like to eat scrambled eggs; I like them for fun.

He's a failed Hollywood writer in his 50s and he's going back to Phoenix to address a problem he has with his father. This is where I think [writer/director] Bob Dolman has been really clever.

The Hollywood movies are more like novels, and the kinds of films I make are more like poems.

It has been a great experience to act in Hollywood movies with actors like Ben Kingsley.

I make movies for grownups. When Hollywood starts making them again, I'll start acting in them again.

We really wanted to pay homage to the older Hollywood movies of the '70s and '80s as opposed to today. Those are all about gore and Asian ghost stories.
