#Quote
1[on Producing] ...If it costs you 1 dollar a day to open your eyes ... you need to make 2.
2In those days when I was bidding on something everyone who was capable got in on it because I had this bubble and this streak going and people wanted to try and take something away from me, especially from us, because we were the foreign guys.
3On Terminator: I enjoy the franchise, but producing it is a headache. ...The Rights are complicated.
4Making more than one movie at a time isn't producing anymore - it's project management.
5I find myself talking to more and more young filmmakers these days and the one piece of advice I give: ...don't force it! If the material is good, the people in this town will know it.
6I think the road to becoming a producer is one thing, the road to becoming a director is more interesting.
7Independent film is difficult to produce. No matter what you do for financing, there's always a piece missing.
8I'm not a dentist or a lawyer; making movies is the only thing that turns me on.
9Whenever I've done a picture I've always tried to make it a fun experience; especially when we were starting out, because it was really tough to get our first pictures made... So if there's no fun, then there's no point in doing it.
