Acting isn't for me. I don't like being told what to do. I'm more interested in set design, more visually driven.

I just try to do what I'm interested in and hope that some people will connect.

I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.

More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.

I like to write things to be personal, so I just put what I'm thinking about at the time.

Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.

Having a kid, it makes you slow down; when you're walking with a toddler to pick up a leaf it can take a half hour. You've never spent that time looking at a leaf before, having that kind of interaction. So I think it does make you change the way you look things.
