When you direct is the only time you get to have the world exactly how you want it. My movies are very close to what I set out to do. And I'm super-opinionated about what I do and don't like.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

For everyone, there are those moments when you have great days with someone you wouldn't expect to. Then you have to go back to your real lives, but it makes an impression on you.

I've always written my own scripts, I really like doing everything from the beginning and taking it all the way through, I've probably learned that from my dad.

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.

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

I think anything you do that's different, that doesn't take the typical approach, invites differing opinions.
