Tommy Wiseau

As a director, it's my job to provoke, and when people decided 'The Room' be called a phenomenon, or whatever you call it, it's fine with me.

As a filmmaker and an actor, my job is to react towards people, but I want a reaction from them.

When I was a little kid, I wanted to be, like, you know, a movie star, you know? Or, I always have interest in movie, you know? Because I like the visual aspect of the movies, et cetera.

When I was little kid, I used to want to be a rock star.

I am pro-freedom.

I like acting better than anything else, but, you know, directing's good.

I want to be always actor.

I studied movies for many years, but I am professionally an actor because I, my background is actually a stage actor and acting.

My background is in psychology and I'm also a stage actor. That's my background.

The Room' is relationships. The room is you and me and everyone in America. That's basically what 'The Room' is.

I like a lot of classic movies, like, for example, 'Citizen Kane', James Dean movies, etc, etc.

My take on it, like a filmmaker or actor, is if you have much more colors within your creation, eventually people will appreciate what you're doing, and the other stuff is secondary, like critiques or even awards or anything else, as long as people enjoy it.
