I like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.

The things that make us unique, the things that make us different, the sometimes unique positions we're in our calling. By sticking true, we can ultimately do something that can change the world for the better.

One of the things about Derek Jarman was that he was a painter who worked alone when he painted, but I firmly believe that one of the reasons he made films was for the company.
