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

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.

I like doing movies with kids in them, and you're explaining things. They're teaching you and you're teaching them, and the audience can loop through that.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

Actors aren't fighters. They don't know how to throw a punch. So, there's a lot of hitting in the face. I'd much rather fight with a stuntman than another actor. I don't like fighting with other actors because somebody always ends up getting hurt.

I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.

But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies.
