The idea of devoting two years of my life to making a corporate product that looks and smells and tastes like a lot of other things out there with just a different trademark character is a bore.

We should be writing more great roles for women, period. Another problem is that movies are generally made for 14-year-old boys, and 14-year-old boys want to watch 25-year-old action heroes.

If you respect the events and respect the real life tragedy, you can drive your film to address it in some mature way.

One of my favourite movies is Billy Wilder's 'The Apartment.' It's shot in super wide screen, and it's beautiful.

The funny thing about me is I move from genre to genre, but I essentially shoot all the movies the same way.

We're all going to hell for the songs we sing.
