Nothing I've done is like anything else I've done before.

From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on 'Jumper' was done 'Swingers'-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.

In movies, you can basically buy the audience into the theater. If you spend enough money on visual effects, even if you are lacking in story and character, you might still pull it off.

For big Hollywood movies, I'm on the more character-driven side of the equation. So, TV is a natural place for me to be because you've got no choice, but to be character-driven.

In the real world, if you're in a car chase, you're going to hit a million things and your car is going to end up a total wreck by the end.

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

There are actors who just bring an enormous amount of empathy. They just have that"it" that makes you want to follow them and root for them.
