I personally like to do independent films.
I'd like to do an independent film.
It's sad when you say a $30 million film is an inexpensive film, but it is.
I would love to try action films.
Music is the subliminal connecting adhesive in film, or at least in narrative feature films.
[the Middle Of The Film] Lady Presenter: Hello, and welcome to 'The Middle of the Film', the moment where we take a break to invite you, the audience, to join us, the film-makers, in 'Find the Fish'. We're going to show you a scene from another film ...
I'm not only my films, but I'm pretty much my films.
