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

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

The press don't like to say nice things because nice is boring. It's much better to label me the devil. What we do is not brain surgery. We are entertainers, plain and simple, and we're responsible to bring that money back, to make a profit.

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

Fast cars are my only vice.

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

I look at directing as a sporting event. It's a race, a marathon. It's great when it clicks, which is why I push my crews so hard so we can excel.
