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

Why isn't everything exploding?!

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.

It's great that I get accused of not being politically correct. People need to take themselves less seriously. This world is so screwed up as it is, we've all got to relax a bit more.

Fast cars are my only vice.

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.

We don't make movies for critics. I've done four movies; there's millions upon millions upon millions of people who've paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience.
