Miami Beach - that's where I grew up, in a middle-class Jewish family led by my maternal grandfather. Me, my great-grandmother - a Holocaust survivor, who was my roommate - my grandparents, my mom and her brother all shared a four-bedroom house.

I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.

I would love a robot butler.

I look for stuff that I'm passionate about.

When you're the director, you kinda do all the work.

Would it be nice to win a film award one day? Yes. But the critics are going to have to wait till I'm ready. Right now, my gift is making big movies that audiences want to see.

You can't show a four-hour movie in a theater, really.
