The trouble with Hollywood films is that they always have a pleasant ending.
Martin Parr
Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.
Jason Patric
I gravitate toward edgy, intense, dark films that just grab you by the throat.
Aaron Paul
It's become very popular in contemporary films to have the twist ending.
Bill Paxton
I don't feel despair because I am able to make the films I want to make, and that gives me hope.
Alexander Payne
I like voice-over in films, and most of my films have been voice-over films.
There is an audience out there for literate films - slower, more observant, more human films, and they deserve to be made.
The most heinous shift in American films is that they reinforce good things like 'couples' and 'relationships.'
As the years go by and I make more films, I am increasingly interested in capturing place as a vivid backdrop for my films.
I think if you watch most of my films with the sound off, you could still tell what's going on.
