A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.

If we had written Tristan in the true vernacular the audience would have been very small. It wouldn't have even been Shakespearean. It would have been so Celtic you wouldn't understand what was going on.

In my view, the only way to see a film remains the way the filmmaker intended: inside a large movie theater with great sound and pristine picture.

I was always amazed about how much I could finally squeeze into a thirty second commercial.

And anyway, it's only movies. to stop me I think they'll ahve to shoot me in the head.

I'm a moviemaker, not a documentarian. I try to hit the truth.

And I maintain good relationships with all the studios so I've never been bullied into any cut, frankly.
