I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn't as hard as everyone says it is.

I'm a big believer that it doesn't matter what you call your company, nobody ever notices.

People in LA seem to have no concept of the time outside of their city. I've been trained for thirty years in the film industry of having whether its agents, lawyers, actors, or whoever calling up all night.

What I learned very quickly is that if you get it right in the first two or three takes, it's not going to get that much better.

It's a juggernaut, yeah... but I'm not phased by making movies.

I like doing as many special effects in camera, as much as possible.

Im as conservative as they come.
