When I have a full schedule like that, I don't see myself sitting there for a couple of months, doing the research, going through a painful process, it's just not my thing anymore.

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.

I think great romance needs great obstacles and textures.

Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.

I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.
