Whenever a critic mentions the salary of an actor, I'm thinking, He's not talking about the movie.

Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.

There's a personal story of my own that I will write at some point, and it's a film that I will happily make. It could very well be the next thing I do, unless someone shows me something great.

Some people have a fear of rejecting all the security that comes with family, church and state. They become fundamentalists.

The trick with sequels is, you have to give people what they liked before, yet be innovative enough so they don't feel like they're seeing the same movie.

Just expressing contempt for your leaders doesn't really accomplish anything.

I have tons of rescuing fantasies based on the movies I saw when I was growing up. I wanted to be Robin Hood and the Three Musketeers and the Scarlet Pimpernel.
