When you're a kid going on being an adult, everything radiates so deeply and resonates so passionately, and I like the opportunity to tell those stories.

I do my best when I'm surrounded by women. I enjoyed that on the Charlie's Angels experience.

Actors can make five movies a year. A director can make one movie, every two years. It's a whole different level of commitment and of sweat equity, and therefore there's a direct correlation to passion.

Sometimes you do things for personal reasons. I made a very personal movie in We Are Marshall. I was afraid of flying, for a long time, and that's a movie about a plane crash.

As a filmmaker, I've had films that over-achieved and I've had films that under-achieved. You always go in trying to do your very best.

For me, casting is critical. It's nice that social media and the passionate fans really corroborated choices and embraced kids to be characters.

What's better these days, television or film? It's a dead heat. In fact, one could argue for television with more regularity.
