Quote

Hollywood industry people are very spoiled. I don't think they can adjust to the insane, no-money, super-hard working tradition of Japanese filmmaking. I don't think any American can go through that. They don't want to work more than twelve hours and they want Saturday and Sunday off.

Producers don't like the director who ignores their opinion - but I always try not to be the nicest person when making a movie. It's easy to do that. Just say 'Yes sir', Alright', 'Okay' - but they're not seeing the movie because if they can, they should be directing the movie.

Moviemaking is a hard job and this industry is crazy. You never know what is going to happen.

Producers say things that they would like to see in the movie but they don't see the full picture. In the end if you ignore everything the producers say, of course, you get fired but then if you listen to a producer on everything then it's like 'Hey - why don't you direct your own movie?'

If I could finance my own movies, I would be doing it.

It doesn't matter where you make movies or what the size of the movie you make is. It's a very hard job - especially director.

I don't really consider myself a horror director or a violent director at all.
