I'm going to make a film where not one word is really important. I'm going to make it all action.
I want to be an all round entertainer, I want to act, make films, make albums, do whatever I can.
I had to trick people into giving me money for my first film. Making a romantic comedy is easier and more expected from a woman than it is to make a drama about a Japanese warrior.
The only thing I can ever do is make a film that I can respond to. I could not make a romantic comedy for college girls. I wouldn't know how that works.
I don't understand why there needs to be a love interest to make women go see a film. I think society sort of makes us feel that way - that if you don't have a guy, you're worthless.
When I make movies, I don't ever go out there to please anyone other than myself. I never try to make a film for the masses. I just try to tell my story.
The time it would take me to write a screenplay it would take me the time to make two films. I would rather make the movies, and I'm a better moviemaker than I would be writer.
I only make storyboards for action scenes. Once you make a storyboard, you don't film; it can be a stiff move.
I really loved making 'A Walk to Remember', so I'm not afraid of making smaller films. But for me, I just need to connect to the characters.
I don't know if I make the best gay films.
Any film you make is a crap shoot.
The economy of film forces you to make choices.
A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
I've always wanted to make a film.
The idea of dying and coming back is what makes the Halloween films work.
I love making films, but the best roles are hard to come by.
By the usual reckoning, the worst books make the best films.
The best I can do is to make a film every two years.
If it were all in the script, why make the film?
No two directors make the same film the same way.
You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!
