I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.

Filmmaking is a difficult process. There are the logistics of making a film. You have to do your part, and then change the entire thing around to do someone else's part. A lot of the magic is lost, in between that, and you have to figure out how to get it back.

I'd like to do a romantic comedy.

If you go to YouTube and look up 'grief' you can find them and it's just an unbelievable tool for an actor to be able to access, without being unethical. It's like accessing the deepest, most painful parts of a person.

It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it.

I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.

I always ask, why can't I be just like Cary Grant or something.
