What other profession besides your own would you be interested in?
That’s a good question. That’s a question I don’t have an answer for. I don’t know but, I’d be doing something.
Indies against the blockbusters – losing battle?
I mean, we make movies and people watch movies. You gotta get down to the basic element of it. There are always reasons why films don’t play well – if it’s snowing or raining or whatever. But there could be an earthquake and there’s gonna be a line around the block for Star Wars. I make movies and I’ll make them whether they’re a hit tonight, tomorrow, six months from now. Hey, it might never be a hit.
What is your most prized possession?
Next question.
What was the last movie you rented?
I honestly don’t rent movies, they give them to us.
What actor would play you in your life story?
George Clooney
Who would direct it?
George Clooney
What’s your greatest achievement?
I don’t know. (Smiles and yells out to actor Frankie Cee, who stars in a number of his films, and happened to be sitting nearby). Hey Frankie, what’s your greatest achievement? Frankie: “my greatest achievement is hanging around with you all these years.” – There’s my answer.
