Nobody sets out to make a bad film.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.

I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it's great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.

The great thing I think when you do independents is that people are really there for the same reason. They're not there because they got a lot of money and they want to just go home and get it over with. They're there because they believe in the script or the director or the cast or whatever it is, and they want to make it work.

I love scary movies. The Shining and Don't Look Now are two of the best.
