You do a movie [where] you like the script [and] it has something to say that you care about. And there are certain people in this industry that you kind of stick with. Guys like [“The Congressman” producer] Fred Roos. They call you, and if you’re not working, that’s what you do.

After I got out of the studio system, I was completely [broke] for the 30th time they said I’d never work again. So I’m going to go and produce those movies that they wouldn’t let me do.
