When I'm doing something, it's something that I had a perspective on in my childhood, or now, but it may be different. I always can go back to what I love, but if somebody has a better idea, then I'm all for it.

I love 3-D, and for certain movies it can be really great, and for certain movies it can be poison.

I think the universe is so big you can't really deal with everybody.

I don't feel like I need to be on an island to be enjoying myself and relaxing.

Each movie is different because each audience is different. You're not dictated by what they tell you to do. You're more dictated by seeing symptoms of things you didn't intend, and how you can fix those symptoms.

I just feel so lucky to tell stories and make up stories and share them with people.

I make movies that I enjoy making and tell stories that I want to see, so it’s hard. You never reverse engineer those things and go, “What would appeal to this or that?” Even if I tried, I don’t know. I’m an all-American kid.
