The dubbing of the music and effects is really incredible today. You're feeling gun shots. I mean, it's not the way people say it is, but the gunshot sounds real. And cars sound real. Among the many things in the evolution (of movies) is to make the sound in the movie incredible. That's what you feel.

I really was very impressed with DMX during the whole experience on 'Romeo Must Die.' I like working with him. I liked him. And I was very impressed with the reaction of the audience when he was in the picture.

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

I always like to make sequels. It's a nice business to be in.

Our responsibility as filmmakers is to make things that are fresh, unique and original.

When California provides the same value as other locations, I'd gladly shoot all my pictures here.

It's hard to shoot anything in L.A.; it's just a chore, but they're great here.
