I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If Id wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasnt worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.

I have all this time between projects, and I'm not so sure that's a healthy thing. It's scary, because at 36 I'm woefully unqualified for anything else.

It's interesting to help someone find their vocabulary. There would not have been a De Niro without a Scorsese.

Now, being on the cover of Vanity Fair is as important as being in great movies. The lines are very, very blurred.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

My method seems to change to everything, especially when you get older. You have more of a resonance to be able to grab to. When you're younger, you have these big boundaries because you don't know how to get you to where you are. When you get older, you have a few tricks that you can pull off.

I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.
