I haven't read a review of one of my films for the best part of 10 years.

It felt scary because there was no auditioning, no rehearsing.

I'm not the one or two take guy, but I'm not the 20, 30, 50, 70 take guy either. If I do a bunch of takes, like more than five or six, it's usually for some technical reasons.

By definition a sequel can't be original. So you've got to figure out what worked the first time around.

These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.

I don't believe in leaving a scene in because it was really hard to shoot, or because it's the reason you took the movie, or because you always wanted to work with an actor . . . If it's not making the movie work, get rid of it.
