• Quotes

  1. "I would have fared poorly under the old studio system that guys like Howard Hawks did so well in. I cannot just make a film and walk away from it. I need that creative intimacy, and quite frankly, the control to execute my visions, on all my projects."
  2. A 65-foot-wide screen and 500 people reacting to the movie, there is nothing like that experience."
