Any movie I've ever made, the minute you walk on the set they tell you who's the person to buy it from.
All those pseudo-Hollywood movies set nowhere, with everybody good looking and having great physique - that's not working any more.
You set out to tell a good story. You don't do it because there is a deep message involved because the movie is almost always bad when you do that.
