I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?

Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and often what makes a good director is knowing when not to say something. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director's hat is only trying to justify his position.

I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.

I like a cheese and pickle. Nice cheese and pickle on a real old-fashioned bread. Ploughman's lunch.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father, and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up sometimes.

My passion and energy get mistaken for anger.

You always hope that the cloak of inspiration will fall, and you'll be O.K.
