The first movies, they just put up a camera and had a train come into a train station, and everybody was amazed. That was sort of all technology.

I think that Lethal Weapon-style dialogue is overused, it's a necessary aspect of high action films where you have to have the smart retort. You have to say "I'll be back baby" and stuff. It's not my style.

I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.

The older you get, the less seriously you take criticism. I've gotten to a point now where I ignore it completely. It's just not relevant to me anymore.

If I make a movie that has a whole bunch of music in it, I get to listen to the music all day long, and I don't have to say, 'Well, I gotta go back to work and I gotta stop listening to the music.' I get to listen to music and go to work.

You don't see the struggle part of a person's life. You only see the success they have.

You can't do it unless you can imagine it.
