I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life but I like stupid action films and am kind of proud of them.

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

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.'

I like to produce movies and that's where I want to be.

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

I want an explosion the size of Cleveland.

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