I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.

The visceral experience of seeing a movie in three dimensions, coming at you in the theater, is obviously here to stay, because it is a unique experience. I think that kind of format is only appropriate for some genres, but I'm all for it.

My stepfather was a producer. I'd always wanted to be in show business. And so when he came into my life and he told my brothers and myself, he said, look, if you want to be in this business, you're all going to have to start at the bottom.

I do not envy the headache you will have when you awake. In the meantime, dream of large women.

The things that you know intellectually when you're young become internalized as you get older. You realize all those clichés.

Im something of a history buff. Its deliberate that a lot of my films have been period pieces.

I used to sit in school and dream about getting into films.
