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.

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

Do you know what directors go through? It's just hell. Like, why do I work so hard - to think I'm only going to see this movie five times and then never see it again 'cause I'm so sick of it? What is it worth, honestly?

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

Maybe I have just a younger voice than many other directors.
