It's so hard and impossible to shoot in L.A. The costs are astronomical.

The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.

I think once every person on the planet sees 'New Moon' and there's nobody left who hasn't see it, then I think they'll be able to go see 'Ninja.'

I've always wanted to make 'Swamp Thing.' I like 'Swamp Thing.' I think it's a good idea, and I thought it would be a good venue for a 3-D movie, but there were rights issues with 'Swamp Thing.'

You know for years before the notion of sequels, actors were the franchise. John Wayne would rarely do sequels, but he kind of played the same guy with a different name in every movie. I have no problem with using actors as franchises. And that's what is fun to do.

There are a lot of times where actors can be a little precious sometimes, and then it's difficult to put them in a situation where there is true hardship.

There's no such thing as an easy anything.
