Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up.

I'm one of the most fortunate guys around,I still get to do those kinds of movies, and then I get to do Green Lantern, and I get to do Buried with an auteur like Rodrigo Cortés. I enjoy that I can get away with that.

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 understand the climate we live in and why people are curious. But it's just tough and almost emotionally violent - for anyone, I think - to see your personal life summarized in a sentence.

I firmly believe that you can't manufacture chemistry with anyone, let alone a kid.

I'm a bit of an M&M nut. I like the blue ones. I pick them out.

I think that people see that Sandra Bullock has an ability to laugh at herself and you just don't find that too often.
