When it comes to action, I'd say Mel Gibson and Will [Smith] were great.

There are many more good stories about Jaye Davidson.

I've said that "2012" was my favorite ensemble cast, because it was so evenly good.

It's very, very rare you find something really original and also because a lot of original stuff, most of the time has no chance, because it's so expensive to make something famous or put it in people's head that it's the one to see, it's like awareness has to be almost like at 80% or 90% if you make an expensive summer movie and that's very hard to do with anything an the White House naturally is in itself some sort of a trademark.

There's a rule in Hollywood: stay away from water and stay away from snow, and I had both.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

I always try to convince people that there has to be a lot of material about the subject matter, so they created a couple of pieces. One is about doomsday prophecies.
