You know the typical crowd, Wow, it’s Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there? Well, yeah. Because there’s nothing out there. It’s stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people.

I’m the best form of entertainment I have.

I'm a filmmaker; I want to make films. I don't want to sit in a hotel room waiting to make films, and I can control my thing in Denmark; I can make the film I want to make... of course, I have to write a good script, all that, but if I do my job, it will happen.
I'm not a kid trying to make an impression in the business. I do have 600 films out there that are playing constantly.
You know it ain't no stoppin'
All the doggs I'm droppin'
It's Friday night, so everything is poppin.
The cinema industry is competing against everything else people can do on a Friday or Saturday night. If they don't have a good time, you're going to lose them to something else. So much of what we do is trying to make the Alamo experience special.

People would say, "Well yeah, if I wrote action films, if I wrote the trash that you write, I could make millions too.
