It's lovely being a producer. It's really a lot of fun and I can learn a lot.

I think in every picture that I've ever made. Everything that I've done torments me. I really would like another chance except I'd be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.

When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way.

I've always made sequels, even when I was making Super 8 movies if the audience liked it.

Money opens up wonderful worlds of possibilities.

I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.

I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.
