I try to make two movies a year. To me, that's not too much. On top of that, I like to work.

The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.

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.

If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.

When you're playing a spirit from another dimension, you really can do anything and get as abstract as you want and still have a context that will work within the movie. I wanted Ghost Rider to move in a way where it would be like a bad dream. I thought about cobra snakes, and the way that they will show you their backs and sway in a rhythmic motion and almost lull you to sleep before suddenly attacking. Well, I put that into the movie. And I decided to move my head in the jerky way a praying mantis does. So, I did all these things to give the movie a feeling of otherness.

I just try to keep it fresh. I try to keep it interesting. The truth is my roots are independently spirited dramas that are small, and I will always go back to that well, because that's where I broke out of. But I'm going to keep doing as many different movies as I possibly can.

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.
