I don’t really like the Hollywood blockbuster bandwagon that exists right now. The industry and the advent of all the technology, has kind of lost its way. It’s become very franchise driven and superhero driven.

Rivalry doesn't help anybody.

One of the first movies I ever saw was 'Batman,' based on the TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward.

Remember, pain is temporary; film is forever.

I regard myself as being the final filter so everything that ends up in the movie is there because it's something that I think was cool.

I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.

To his ex-wife in court, he said I lost interest in you when the Botox lost its effect and you looked like a plastic doll that escaped from a fire.
