Its... a hard thing for a director, to think you came up with a shot, something from your mind, and someone died while doing it. Its the worst thing youll ever have to live with. It was very hard for me to get back on the horse again.

For me, the great joy is to watch an audience watching what I've made. To hear not a peep from the audience at the right moment, and then to hear the laughs and the cheers.

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

Fast cars are my only vice.

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.

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

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