I think we're on a roll.

It just turns something on inside. You just can't sit still.

It reminds me of back in the 1960s when we used to listen to [Pickett] at the Howard Theater [in Washington, D.C.].

Anytime you cast a movie and you need someone famous in the lead part, you're a prisoner of whoever happens to be famous in the six-month window in which you're trying to get a film financed.

'Independent' means one thing to me: It means that regardless of the source of financing, the director's voice is extremely present. It's such a pretentious term, but it's auteurist cinema. Director-driven, personal, auteurist... Whatever word you want.

I've seen so many accidents occur, because people aren't paying attention to what's going on in front of them. While they're looking over, their vehicle is still moving, and what happens? ... they're involved in an accident.
