Trust your actors. That's why I work with the same actors time and time again. I encourage them to change the dialogue to achieve one thing: keep the characters honest.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.

The stigma of the straight-to-DVD thing is over.

I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

I am a big fan of the old Howard Hawks films from the 30s and 40s, I was a big Hepburn and Tracey fan for a while and Woody Allen films that are a very different kind of romantic comedy.

Spielberg gave us three takes before saying anything to us. Since then, I do that, three takes, to let the actors find their rhythm.

The way I see it, when I go out as an actor, it should be on a type of film I'm never going to do as a director.
