Being dubbed as a hunk sort of annoys me. It gives me a yucky feeling.

You never know as a director what other directors do. Because you don't get to see what they do.

[Success] always starts with the material; it always starts with the truth and honesty of the characters that you read in the screenplay and that's rarely something that can be remedied if it's simply not there by the time you shoot the film. Thank God we had that.

Love at first sight? I absolutely believe in it! You've got to keep the faith. Who doesn't like the idea that you could see someone tomorrow and she could be the love of your life? It's very romantic.

It's very, very rare in this business [moviemaking] where a script lands on your lap ready to go.

Some people don't get it when I'm being sarcastic.

Doing what we do [filming], you have to be your own critic and judge and adjudicate as to what you do and how it turned out.
