(On choosing studio or independent films) "I go back and forth between indie and studio because I feel like it, not because I feel obligated to do one or the other. The only reason to make a decision like that is financial, you know, you can`t live. That ...

We aren`t the grandfathers of any movement. In the 1980s, the so-called indie film movement was a media creation. What I found irritating is that `independent` became an encomium. If it was independent, it was supposed to be good, and studio films were ba...

After we did All the Real Girls, some guy asked me how I was going to go to Hollywood and hang on to my indie values. `Indie values`? There`s like 18 things wrong with that phrase, but I understood what he meant. If your value system is external to you, t...

You gotta start somewhere. Whether it`s indie film or whatever. Anything`s a start, wherever it happens to fall. But, you can`t just come out of nowhere and jump into an $80 million film, I don`t think you`ll ever see that happen. But I`ve always wanted t...
Thomas Jane
I`m not the indie kid, and I`m also not the John Grisham novel hero, but I am all of those things. I do whatever excites me at the time. I`ll be in some huge $80 million buddy cop movie, I don`t care, and I`ll also do some wild independent movie. I refuse...

Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I`ve just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable. There are a lot of independent films I`ve wanted to do that I haven`t been cast in.

We played with Superchunk on our first American tour. We`ve always liked the records they release. They`re a good, classic indie label, and they`re genuine fans of music. And they`re really just as enthusiastic about it as they were when we first met them...

The pirating thing is bad. The people it hurts the most are the ones you least think it hurts. It`s not the big Britney Spears albums that are being pirated; it`s the indie bands that don`t have two cents to their name.

No, in Lethal Weapon I was a taxi cab driver that Mel jumps in front of the taxi and pulls me out of the car and steals the taxi. Then I did some other indie driving for some of the car sequences.
David Ellis
is like that middle, neutral ground, between the East Coast and the West Coast, not the States, but close, not all indie movies, some Hollywood stuff, not just fall movies, but some holiday things. It bridges a lot of gaps for movie people.
Paula Wagner
I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I`d try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I`m not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.
Alvin McIntosh
But, then again, I wouldn`t call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands.
