I Had Studied Piano Since I Was

Well, The Whole Trick To Doing An Independent Film, Is To Keep Great Pace And Momentum. You're Shooting Maybe Three Times As Many Scenes In One Day That You Would On A Big, Luxurious Budget On A Luxurious Schedule, And You Try Not To Sacrifice Quality For That. Things Are Just Compressed, But Essentially The Same.

When You Have Satire, It Has To Be Real. No Matter How Outrageous The Comedy Becomes, You Have To Believe In The Characters.

Just Because You're Not Sweating Doesn't Mean You're Not Putting In The Work.

Lots Of People Fantasize About What It Would Be Like If They Were President... Most Think They'd Be Decent And Wouldn't Be Corrupted At All, That They'd Remain True To Themselves.

I've Done A Couple Of Movies For Scale, And It's The Only Way To Get A Lot Of These Independent Movies Made. The Actors Negotiate Deals Where They're Given Just Enough Money To Live On During The Filming, But Then They Participate In The Back-end. If The Movie Suddenly Makes A Gazillion Dollars, We'll Participate In That Profit.
