You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.

I'm not a proponent of people watching a movie, and then going out and doing something bad. People have been doing bad things, well before movies.

I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn't crazy with some of the scripts I was getting - this was before Blow and Hannibal - so I decided to start my own production company

The best way to learn anything is through a movie, because you have so much time to do it and you have great people teaching you.

You want people to watch what you're doing.

I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.

I just know what it's like being an East Coast person, being from New Jersey.
