I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm sort of old-fashioned. I think people need to get out there and they need to work and they need to do their music because they love it. If they become successful, then great, and if they are not, whatever.

I think if you're going to remake a film it should be something that was a good idea, but wasn't executed well. There isn't anything I would like to remake. I have too many of my own ideas I want to make.

I've always been a fan of just extreme things. Whether it be in movies, books, TV or real life.

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

I don't believe in fate, because I'm not spiritual, but things do seem to work out.

When you can program your own life, you're just going to program what you already like. Because of that, people's taste becomes much more narrow-minded.

Movies in general are more generic. If something sells just make more. That's Hollywood.
