There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.

Even today in our progressive times in most movies that come out the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.

I mean movies in general tend to sort of portray time space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you and you're always you.

Movies are different from real life.

If the goal is to get the best artists actors and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.

I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

Jet was very busy. I've been inspired by a lot of his movies.

It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing making movies.

The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.
