If I'm not in love with the script, there's nothing. It doesn't matter what you give me. It has to start with the script.

To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.

I'm a character-driven director, and I tend to fall in love with the characters in my movies and TV shows.

At the end of the day, it's still a show about guys who ride extremely fast motorcycles for a living.

Casting is everything. I put a huge amount of work into casting, and consistently across my career, I am most proud of my bold choices I made in casting.

I think making a great action movie is one of the hardest cinematic endeavors. By definition, smart characters avoid action. Smart people don't go down dark alleys, but if you're making an action movie and you want to have an action sequence, somehow you have to get that character into that dangerous situation.

When you can come across a piece of material that's totally original and fun and completely satisfying, you jump on it.
