"The biggest mistake in student films is that they are usually cast so badly, with friends and people..." — Brian De Palma

You really are as hot as your last movie. And it goes away really quickly.

When you make a movie outside the system and it's successful critically or a moderate financial success, you usually have to go back into the system and make a big hit.

I do like directing other people's material.

I guess what's most surprised me in most of the reviews is that they don't seem to get the noir story in the dream sequence, so they analyze it like a straight noir movie.
