I love doing big movies. It's awesome! You have all these toys. The thing I like about this movie is, like they always say, directors have the biggest train sets! Don't tell anyone, but I'd do this for free.

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

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

I was talking to one of the writers about our target audience, and he was insulted that I used that term. But if you're given $60 million to make a film, you'd better know who your target audience is. That's who's going to pay back the bills you run up.

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

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

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