Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it's, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot.

When you're fast when you're shooting, there are great things that you discover. By being fast you also sometimes get more time to experiment.

A lot of directors don't want the pressure of a movie the size of Pearl Harbor. But I love it. I thrive on it.

I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.

What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, youve got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top.

Hollywood has to start finding more original stuff They've got to start by not depending on, 'What can we churn back out? How can we regurgitate this?' That's why I want to redo the feel of Transformers. That's why I wanted to start with a new cast. You want it to feel fresh, and you want to make it feel different than the other three.

I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.
