I love it all. I don't want to go through my career with one hand tied behind my back. I love making kids happy. I love the midnight audience. I like intense dramas. And I like high-adrenaline action films.

I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.

All of my characters have a glint of madness.

I do like characters that have flaws, some sort of pathos to them that they are trying to sort out.

I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.

I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

I'm always fearful of something happening to people I love. That doesn't go away.
