Making movies is all about instinct.

Nobody taught Picasso how to paint - he learned for himself. And nobody can teach you to be a producer. You can learn the mechanics, but you can't learn what's right about a script or a director or an actor. That comes from instinct and intuition. It comes from inside you.

If you get a book which is 600 pages, you have to reduce it to a script of 100 pages. In two hours of film, you cannot possibly include all the characters.

I see my face in the mirror, and I said, No, my ambition is not to be an actor.

You have to kill the bad guy.

My philosophy is very simple. To feel young, you must work as long as you can.

I have two young girls, 8 and 10. They really keep me young.
