You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.

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.

I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.

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

Ironically, I think action can be the dullest part of movies nowadays - and I love action movies!

You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.

I'll never be a good writer, and no chance of being a good actor.
