I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.

I love working with younger actors because they always come into the game full of energy and ideas that challenge me and keep me learning and stimulated.

I was always shocked when I went to the doctor's office and they did my X-ray and didn't find that I had eight more ribs than I should have or that my blood was the color green.

I've always believed that the greatest actors are the ones that have the voices that are imitable.

First of all the criteria that I have that goes into any career decision is whether or not I have the life experience, emotional resources to play the part truthfully or the imagination. Second, would be the director.

I do like to move and get physical in my movies.

People are losing jobs, people need to be entertained, and I want to make movies that parents and children can look forward to seeing, that can become a kind of family ritual.
