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.

Why isn't everything exploding?!

You'll hear people say now, 'Oh, I don't want to see something in 3-D. That's wrong, because what they've seen is 3-D done poorly.

Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in 'Transformers.' I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films.

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

I don't ever want to do a movie where you shoot it on a motion capture stage. I just don't like taking the reality out of it. I like being on the set in real environments. I don't like shooting on green screen. I think it gives the actors so much more to play with when there's real stuff happening on the set.

It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year.
