“I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally.
I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.
You just never know when you're living in a golden age.
I guess maybe I try to make movies that are closer to real life than are many Hollywood movies. But I still try to stay within a commercial narrative, a contemporary American vernacular.
