I always take kind of a zen view of casting and I really don't remember people who passed. I kind of turn it over to the universe and figure, 'Wow, I guess that wasn't meant to be.' It doesn't sit with me.

There is a point you can definitely lose the audience and sometimes you don't know where it is.

Everything's a lot easier when you work with someone you know just about as well as you know yourself.

With all of my films if I get one bad review and a bunch of good reviews the bad one is the only one that will stay with me, which really sucks!

The guy I've never worked with that is pissing me off is Tom Hanks. I want to work with Tom Hanks more than anyone.

Usually, you can shoot a movie in 10 or 12 weeks.

You can't control the way people are going to describe you.
