When you make a black-and-white movie with two people in it in 2016, you're taking a swing at something.
You're taught - consciously or sub-consciously - to make an indie so you can get through that terrible process and get to Hollywood. I realized when I got there, 'Oh, no; I think I'm better over here.'
'Somewhere in Time' is in the top-five cheesiest movies ever made. It's super melodrama.
I'm not someone who feels that unless I am anxious or depressed, there will be no creative drive. My greatest desire in the world is that my desperation goes away, and I can be happy.
'The One I Love' came out in theaters for the enthusiasts and did a chunk of business on VOD. But when it started streaming on Netflix, it exploded. Same thing with 'Safety Not Guaranteed.'
I don't know if the goal is necessarily to hit the ball in the air; I think when my swing is right it just happens on its own.
The only way you can get a hit is if you take a swing.
My tendencies are I get really long with my swing and my body gets out of sync.
No one was like, 'Here's how you swing.' It was just like, 'Let's go hit and figure it out along the way.' I always kind of figured it out.
Florida has been, and will continue to be, a swing state.
