The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.

Fifty-million-dollar movies gobble up the medium movies. A lot of people aren't working in Hollywood because of this.

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 great thing for me about 'The Resurrection of Gavin Stone' is it's a throwback to the old fashioned Hollywood movie that you can watch with your family, has a message, and is funny and entertaining. They didn't call them faith-based movies; they just called them good movies.

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.
