There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world.

The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie.

If you don't cast well, you can be in real trouble.

The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work.

I've found that the more experts you have on a movie, the less control the director has.

The accolades usually come when you're dead or too old to get a job

I really, really love directing films.
