I always serve the writer first because I'm English trained, even though I'm American.

You have to get your hands dirty. You've got to really deliver the goods, and when you do, you can get something really special.

Jeff Bridges taught me a lot about how to keep a scene fresh.

Why couldn't there be even a western slasher, or why couldn't there be a serial killer in a kind of pirate buccaneer Caribbean, just someone that's just doing terrible, terrible things in the ports, the sexy ports of Jamaica during the Pirate Renaissance.

If you don't invest in the characters, you don't care if they get killed. It's more fun if you know them.

Sometimes we spend our money on something we think is gonna be great, and the titles shall remain nameless, but they're just a little disappointing.

I actually sing horribly, but I used to dance pretty good. I was a gymnast, and you can usually use those gymnastic tricks with dance. Plus, they're so much fun to do. That wasn't really a big part of my career. It was just a phase.
