You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.

I moved to Hollywood when I was 22. I was married. I had a kid right away. And I had worked as a furniture mover amongst various other jobs, and I'd work eight, ten hours a day to support my family - and I'd come home and write for two hours a night or two and a half, or three hours a night.

My one guiding rule for success in the film world would be, be careful of your friends.
