I've Watched 'being There' Over 50 Times,

When Critics Or People Judge, I Think It's Harder To Make A Commercial, Pop Movie Than It Is To Make A Pretentious Art Film. It's Harder To Reach Millions Of People And Satisfy Them And Make Them Happy. These Films Kind Of Get Ghettoized, This Genre Because There Are So Many Big, Big Movies That Are Such Big Hits, But Aren't Any Good. The Audiences, They're Not Judging The Style Of The Director, Or The Execution Of The Film. They're Just Looking To Be Entertained. They Want To Escape From Their Reality, And That's Why We Make Movies, To Get People To Escape From The Realities.

I Love Movie Directors. I Don't Care Who It Is.

I've Worked With A Hundred Of The Biggest Artists In The World, From Madonna To Mariah Carey, And He [michael Jackson] Is Just Beyond. He's At A Whole Other Level, Spiritually. He's Got The God Spot. Everyone Has It, Everyone Has That God Spot, But It's Just The Way He's In Tune With It. He Has It. It's Right There, And When He Starts To Sing, God Has Just Opened It Up For Him. That's Why He's Not Comfortable Around People And Things, Because He's Just Such A Unique - He Feels Blessed Just To Be Himself. "i Can't Believe I'm Michael Jackson."

The Producer Can Put Something Together, Package It, Oversee It, Give Input. I'm The Kind Of Producer That Likes To Take A Back Seat And Let The Director Run With It. If He Needs Me, I'm There For Him. As A Director, I Like To Have The Producer There With Me. As A Producer, I Don't Want To Be There Because I Happen To Be A Director First And Foremost, I Don't Want To "that Guy."

I Look For Stuff That I'm Passionate About.
