I would love to play your common, everyday guy, but I never get cast as that.

I loved being asked 2,000 questions a day, storyboarding every move, knowing as though by instinct exactly where the camera had to be, because it was my story.

I would still like to go to the moon before I die.

Time and time again I was told that I would never make the film on time and never make it on budget. That kind of criticism tends to turn me into a great big motor of efficiency.

You feel your game's raised by working with the best people.

When I meet a couple, I'm always interested to know if they have been together for a long time, or how loyal they are, because I know that will impact on how much I'm prepared to trust them.

Ensure that your script is watertight. If it's not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen.
