Action to me is something very fun to shoot.

Normally, I tend to be a very binary filmmaker. You give me a problem and a destination and I say, "All right. If you want to get from here to here, there's a series of if/then's that will get you there. And if you have other stuff you want to do along the way, I'll give you all the if/then's that are caused by that."

The biggest challenge is not coming up with the stunt, the biggest challenge is designing a sequence around it that sort of justifies its existence.

Evil is a really tough concept for me. The idea of a villain that is bad for bad's sake seems kind of absurd.

While I was a voracious movie-goer as a boy, I never put writing and films together in my mind.

To me, the ultimate crime in an adaptation is the crime of reverence. A novel is one form of media, a screenplay is another, and a movie is yet another. There's even reverence to a screenplay.

My films do very well on home video.
