Women in my family are the center of things. All good things emanate from them. The guys usually mess up.

There has to be some kind of order and some moral code. I don't know how people can function without a belief in a deity.

I'm not a preacher and I'm not a pastor. But I really feel my career was leading me to make this. The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was just directing traffic. I hope the film has the power to evangelize.

Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.

Sometimes you got to a point where it wasn't happening and you had to figure out another way to do it, particularly in terms of making the jaguar do what you wanted. That was not CG, a real guy had to run really fast and not trip. There was a form of restraint on the creature that you can't see. so it was all very safe - but it is real.
