My mother gave me a real kick toward cooking, which was that if I wanted to eat, I'd better know how to do it myself.

The movie business is based on criminals. Some of them are in movies and some of them make movies.

Intimate scenes on a movie set are just dry, bizarre things; people standing around.

Anybody can leap off a building.

Action movies live and die by the story that you're trying to tell. It's hard. It's very difficult to do an action movie that stays engaging.

It didn't even really matter how good the band was - if someone could keep a beat, then you were prepared to jump up and down and smash around.

You know, I think the film business is its own worst enemy, because it sells movies on 'behind the scenes' footage. It's seeing the secrets of how the movies are made, and now it's a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plots a secret.
