I live in New York City, and I'm making huge action movies. The people that make huge action movies live in L.A., and they're surrounded by other people who make huge action movies. I'm surrounded by people making documentaries!

It's almost a work-shopping process to create the characters with the actors.

I started my career wanting to make a 'James Bond' movie, and I couldn't get hired! I made 'The Bourne Identity,' and ultimately the impact of that film was that it changed the 'James Bond' franchise.

I go into a movie sort of saying what it's not going to be.

It's better to find a stunt person who can act. It's easier to do that than to find an actor who can do a stunt.

Sometimes rules are there to save your life.
