I'm a pluralist. I've always argued that as many different films as possible should be made.
I always argued against the auteur theory; films are a collaborative art form. I've had some fantastically good people help me make the movies.

Money is there to put food on the table and make sure your family is cared for. Anything beyond that can be argued as extraneous.
I grew up in a household where we talked politics a lot and argued politics a lot.
