jobs remakes heard
Luckily, I've never been offered a directing job that was lucrative. I've never heard, "Here's $800,000 to remake Sisters."
american-director
It is up to us to produce better-quality movies.
act art country
That DMC Act is a disgrace. And the problem with independent art in this country is that independent artists have been economically blacklisted.
boring eat food
'Fast Food Nation' was boring and aimed at yuppies, and yuppies don't eat fast food.
christmas eight encouraged gratuitous hours people sexist society starving stop
In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the eight hours when we stop killing each other and gratuitous overeating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!
directors goofy film
I didn't even know what a film director was. To me, Charlie Chaplin was a goofy clown, and John Ford - what? Never heard of him.
teacher hands people
I was going to be a teacher and improve the world. Teach people with hooks for hands to fingerpaint, and teach bums to draw happy faces on beads.
people world would-be
Mickey Mouse should be in the public domain by now. What a better world it would be if other people were doing things with Mickey Mouse!
independent foxes tvs
If you're an independent, you don't get on TV. And in the rare instances that you do get on, you get a fraction of what that very same movie would get if it came in through Fox or Viacom.
art nice independent
The nice thing about piracy is, it allows the public to get independent art, to get a variety of music and movies.
hate people rabbits
The thing I find about the movie industry is that 99 percent of the people are absolute scum. They're horrible people, they really are. Very nasty killer rabbits who hate movies. But the other 1 percent are really the greatest, most wonderful people in the world.
believe independent expression
I believe that independent film making is the last frontier of creative expression available. So I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to a young film maker who's just getting into the business.
lonely kids independent
It's a lonely world, being independent, and they can come away with the idea that if Lloyd Kaufman can make movies with people getting their heads squashed, with hard-bodied lesbians, women masturbating with pickles, graphic diarrhea, and singing and dancing chicken zombies - if he can do that for 40 years and put his kids through Yale, Columbia, and Duke - if that idiot can do it, anybody can do it.
christmas people racist
In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the 8 hours when we stop killing each other and gratuitous over eating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!
