Directing is not a job. It's more like a career. Which is great!

I don't change my style for anybody. Pussies do that.

I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this business. The only way I get back is with success.

I filmed my first little Super 8 movie by stealing my mum's Super 8 camera where I set some fires to some of the models, which actually caught the drapes of my bedroom on fire! The fire department came. I was grounded for three weeks and it was my very first movie.

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

Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism.

I'm one of the few directors that actually shoots a lot in camera.
