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

Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make Star Wars, but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot.

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.

I'm betting that in two years I'll be talking to you about a film that I shot on an iPhone. It's absolutely coming, I have no doubt in my mind.

I was a kid who went to film school and fell into acting.

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

Actors are con men and con men are actors.
