I'm always involved with casting my movies. I have final word on it.

I just aim for basketball season to start. I don't really care about anything else in life.

I had a talent for scoring films; I just developed it.

Directing is all about storytelling. It's not about equipment, or anything else.

When somebody who makes movies for a living - either as an actor, writer, producer or director - lives to be a certain age, you have to admire them. It is an act of courage to make a film - a courage for which you are not prepared in the rest of life. It is very hard and very destructive. But we do it because we love it.

You have to fight really hard for a private life, and sometimes you don't have one. It just gets to you after a while. It's tough.

One could make money and get a career going with a low-budget horror film about killers attacking on holidays. It is always flattering to have somebody copy you.
