Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.

Many times when you make a movie, it feels like your biggest mistake. But even if a film isn't a hit, you shouldn't view it as a mistake.

What is really a stretch to me is to make quick decisions.

For a filmmaker, it's a rare chance to do a personal film on a big canvas.

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.

I'm just a pretty regular dad.

Things that don't have a big impact seem to be crucial. Always when you go out to make a movie you have questions, "What if this doesn't work? What if that doesn't work?" you want to cover yourself, you want to bring back enough [footage] so you can do something.
