I just think old old movies they make you concentrate and pay attention so much more. They feel so warm. A lot of modern digital videotape it's just too bright. Don't know why it's not warm.

I can't watch scary movies right now because living on my own it kind of freaks me out.

Sure 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.

Not only do I have to live right I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

Right now my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.

You read a script and its based on 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction' and it goes right in the bin.

If my films don't show a profit I know I'm doing something right.

Another thing that's quite different in writing a book as a practicing newspaperman is that if you look at what you've written the next morning and you think you didn't get it quite right you can fix it.

That's what keeps me up at three in the morning: Who's looking at reviews of Cabin Boy right now?

Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking 'I'm a bad guy.' They think they're the right guy.
