I came out of independent film, that's my roots.
I really love independent films. There's something so determined about the people who work on them.
I remember being inspired myself when smaller films, whether it's 'Beasts' or 'Winter's Bone,' wound up in the Oscars lineup.
I really like Larry Clark's films, as weird as that is. I like Richard Kern films.
I really hope people go out and support the indie filmmakers, because it's a dying breed and there's a lot of cool voices out there that need to be heard.
I think it's important to do smaller films because I think that's where a lot of new things are happening.
I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.
I was first an indie actor, so I also want that more opportunities be given to people in the indies.
That's my advice for indie filmmakers: Marry a supermodel.
Suddenly, all the giant Hollywood franchises are being driven by alternative filmmakers.
I always think Michelle Williams is excellent in her work. And I do love Sofia Coppola. She always creates something so atmospheric. I love Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, Andrea Arnold.
