I don't get tripped up in technology. I use technology as a tool. 'Oldboy' we shot Two Pro 35mm. For 'Da Blood of Jesus,' we shot digitally. We shot the new Sony F55. It's a 4K camera.

I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.

I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.

I am very fortunate I can send my kids to private school, but everybody does not have the money. If you cannot get your kid in a good school today, your kids are going to be behind the eight ball.

Since the days of slavery, if you were a good singer or dancer, it was your job to perform for the master after dinner.

A lot of times you get credit for stuff in your movies you didn't intend to be there.

I'll be vilified if I shoot a film in Toronto for New York. And rightfully so!
