My professional success is really important to me, and my career is really important to me. It's the most important thing to me outside of my family. I take it very seriously and work really, really hard at it. Family comes first, but this is something that's really important to me too.

I get to the point where I feel relaxed, and then I just shoot a ton of material and make a lot of different choices.

If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call.

(As) a director who is a writer, I have respect for writers, so I'm less likely to step on an idea or a line.

I kinda see my current position like this: Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before 'Chuck Woolery' rings the bell.

I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there, at least for one movie, otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.

I don't go back and look at the monitor between every take; I wait until I feel like we finally got it right: "Let me stop and look at that last one on the monitor."
