Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.

I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.

Knowing what paint a painter uses or having an understanding of where he was in the history of where he came from doesn't hurt your appreciation of the painting.

If I make two movies my entire life, and they're two movies that - whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them - they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don't need to be Steven Spielberg.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.

I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.
