We don't feel constrained by what we did in the past.

You get to use everything you learned in movie business. You talk to actors, if you do it right - and I haven't always done it right - you should be shaping the material all the time. And the other thing is, you get all the blame when you direct and it doesn't work. You get slammed. So that's another reason to know what you're making, why you're making it, and make it the way you want.

You shouldn't eat red meat, but you shouldn't make resolutions you can't keep.

Acting in particular is a fun job when you have a good script. I don't know about acting when you don't have a great script. I'm gonna say that's not a great job, it's kind of a dumb job. But when you have a good part in a good script, it's the best job, in a way.

It's fun to discover things. I wouldn't want everything laid out, simply and too obviously.

We don't feel constrained by what we did in the past.

The worst thing is to read bad reviews and go, "Yeah, I agree."
