Don’t get me stared on this independent thing, because that is way too overused. I’m infuriated; I just got this director’s guild magazine. They show all of these directors on the cover and it says, “The independents!” What kills me is that one of the guys is Steven Soderbergh. You go, “Get out of here. Independent? Bite my ass.” Let’s talk about “Ocean’s 12." Is that independent? Are you crazy? The first thing you need to do is determine: what is an independent? An independent is a film that, when you make it, does not have a distributor. That’s the end of the story.

Or it’s the little baby who’s squeezing on the puppy, choking it. “Why isn’t the puppy moving, daddy?” Because you killed it, asshole. Yeah, that’s what’s happening in Hollywood right now. They’re strangling the puppy.
