Low budgets force you to be more creative. Sometimes, with too much money, time and equipment, you can over-think. My way, you can use your gut instinct.

I don't think anyone can be more of a predator than a human being.

I'm all about freedom in art. I'm from Texas, so when someone tells you which way to ride your horse, you think 'I'll just go to a different ranch. You guys are riding it backwards anyway.

Don't look at all at what other people are doing. Think of what you're doing as completely fresh because if you imitate you're dead.

If you create a good story that has a lot of story value I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.

I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you're going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot.
