You think about taking audiences on a journey.

Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it's increments, tiny little pieces.

I wanted to keep exploring... I'm not about to choose a series of movies in which I can use the same bag of tricks and style that I used in the first film.

Truly great actors carry their characters in silence with them. They communicate without words the relationships that predate the movie.

Listen, you make a big movie, you're going into the Coliseum, and people are going to give you the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And that's part of the game. It's part of the fun as well.

If you lived through the shooting of Jaws, you can live through anything.

You freeze with the number of opportunities given to you and just decide to do nothing at all.
