The one thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend, I think the worse that they get.
I found that a lot of people ridiculed contemporary art. I decided I wanted to be involved in art everybody could understand.
There are a lot of parallels between doing a sequel and doing low budget movies, which is they give creative parameters. As a creative person myself, I work better with parameters as opposed to anything goes.
I think the location is almost as important as casting the leads of the movie. The location on 'The Purge' was crucial to that movie working.
It's really hard to make an original movie of any kind that succeeds in the theatrical market place, in the wide release market place.
