My backpack has seven or eight DVDs in it and four or five of them have been there three months and I'm desperate to get to them.

What I can't figure out is why we're not making more R-rated movies, actually.

The hardest thing, as a producer, is to find a director who does the picture for all the right reasons, and not just because they know it's successful or that they can do a good job, but in their bones, they love that genre.

If the studio wants to spend money on making your movie better, let them.

The amount of piracy is extraordinary. People don't realize how big it is.

As a producer, I try to bring as many nice people as I can to insure that there's no screaming, there's no shouting, there's no bullying. The more of those kind of people that you can bring together, the better the experience everyone has on set.

I think when you're doing something cutting edge like 'The Matrix,' it might mean when everybody's saying 'no' that you're really on the right track.
