I like being around people that mean what they say.

I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics.

I'm in a position where whatever I do, I can get my head handed to me. I'm in a position to fail because there is a whole group of people out there who want me to fail. It's a weird vibe.

I wouldn't do the movie unless I thought it had a chance to be good.

I want to be a part of something, and when we define movies now based on how they do on the weekend. We live in a society of "thumbs up, thumbs down."

You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.

You can be as you choose to be. It's an act of discipline sometimes, but it can be done.
