"That's why I'm really trying to produce my own stuff. This film was so good, because I produced it myself, and developed it, and made it with New Line, which is a smaller studio, so I was in control of a lot of stuff that I wasn't in control of for my other films."
Control
"I'm at Miramax now, where I've actually been treated like a Prince."
Now

Movies

Pressure
"I was influenced by European movies, old Fellini, old Kurosawa - any sort of foreign film."
