When you have too many people and you're trying to satisfy everybody's input, you usually end up with something so incredibly generic that it has no point of view.

By the time we got to MGM, and Lions Gate the movie was done there was nothing else to say. It was done. Just as at Universal, it was art by committee.

A lot of times the best trailers are for complete dogshit movies. It's a shame that people are beyond quick to judge things these days. Lots of great stuff gets lost that way.

I love Westerns. I really love John Wayne. Frank Capra, any of his movies I love.

But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude, like they were some big deal, I just found that very strange.

When you lock a movie's release date and then move it two months, it's just not good. It's good for everything but the cast, crew, and people who are creatively trying to make a film.

I'm not a big fan of remakes. And even if they are good, they're still not as good as the original, so what's the point?
