If you're going to commit to that, you're going to have to find some way to make it bearable and enjoyable.

Any great director is also someone who is incredibly intelligent about whom they hire around them.

Every time I hangout with Sandra Bullock I think I want to be her. I want to be married to Jesse James.

I think theres escapist moviemaking, and we want to be captivated and taken away. If its done right, you can craft an incredible film. There have been superhero films that I think are brilliant pieces of art.

The best directors I've worked with, they all have the same thing in common. They're the first to say, 'I don't know.' If you ask them, 'How are we actually pulling off this movie?', they'll just shrug and go, 'I have absolutely no idea.'

I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it's this information age where we're stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things.

I'll do whatever it takes for a movie. I don't really care what that is.
