But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on.- Alex Winter
Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies.
I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that is different than you imagine it.
I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen.
I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.
I am not saying it is not frustrating that my films haven't gotten a bigger release, but I am really happy with them and if you just keep cranking and eventually, if you have a certain sensibility, some of your movies will hit and some just would not.
Like I said about Freaked, people tend to find these films, and I think that in the end the cool thing about a movie is that it can be sort of burnt temporarily, but then it's burnt into the fabric of your culture.
That's kind of the weird thing that M. Night Shyamalan has sort of unleashed upon the world is this need for every movie to have these ridiculous endings.
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
The thing is there have been American movies that are similar to Solaris, like Alien had a lot of things that are similar, although it's also got the horror element.
The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that is a tricky balance.
They're innocent movies, and they're fun movies and there were no pretensions about 'em.
A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.
I am scared easily, here is a list of my adrenaline - production: 1: small children, 2: policemen, 3: high places, 4: that my next movie will not be as good as the last one.
If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
