My movies are pretty tight and they're pretty well-paced. I'm not one to make long movies. I don't dwell on stuff.

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.

Rehearsal? What’s that? Rehearsal’s for fags. Rehearsal. Not much.

People can criticise all day long, I think I've proven myself, I think I deliver. And I agree, box office does not mean a movie's good, but I feel like I'm making good movies and I'm delivering in box office.

I learn from every movie I do because on every movie, I have a different experience.

I love that feeling of going into a packed theater.

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