One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.

You just do the things that you love and see if other people can like them too.

We're at a point in history where everyone needs to pay attention to politics. Too much is at stake for us to be apathetic.

Conventional wisdom can get us into so much trouble, especially as artists.

My whole life has been instinctual for me. I wouldn't do well in the computer world. My children look at me for a question and then they quickly look away because they know that I'm not going to know how to make Super Mario or do anything.

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.

I've been evolving in my stunt career Stunts have always had their place, and I have to measure them now. I've done things where, if I make a mistake, I could die. You really need to look at each thing. That usually is a mechanical failure. So, I have gone from doing everything, to listening and saying, "Maybe I shouldn't do this."
