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

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

I have a dog and sometimes I'll be the littlest kid with my dog and marvel at his ears and his nose and how he looks at me. If he died, I'd bawl like a baby.

We always feel threatened by things we don't know. But, there are definitely some weird things going on.

Yeah, I'd like to get the girl and at least make it through the film.

I think boxing is a singular sport, because the stakes are so high and because it just appeals to people's primal instincts. It's a life and death sport, and it's a sport of sacrifice. It's a humbling sport, and people are coming from humbling circumstances. It's always fun to watch a person that's come from nothing to having everything and losing it again.
