Just because your leg might heal doesn't mean it doesn't feel broken. It doesn't mean that a car hitting your body doesn't hurt like the same it would hurt if a car hit your body.

Filmmakers get into trouble when they're watching too many DVDs and quoting all the time.

I'd be really interested in making a dramatic, low-key 3D film.

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.

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

There's a level where the themes of a film are very relevant to me and also the idea of finding out how relevant one genre is to another. I think that westerns and samurai films and superhero films have a lot in common. It's just that the scale of the visuals in tentpole films can sometimes overwhelm the drama.
