Josh Brolin is an actor that I really, really like; he's fantastic. I worked with him once; he's a really great actor.

No matter how successful the remake is, it seems to me it's forgotten quickly after and it's the original that still lives on.

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?

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.

I think so much about everything. I'm obsessive.

Every time I make a movie I have too many characters and too many locations.

Sometimes I'll go out into the crowd and keep singing, but I'll get maybe seven rows out and I'm out of synch, I'm a couple seconds behind the band and then it becomes chaos.
