Men tend to define themselves by what they do, and so if you're dealing with a character who's trying to figure that out, or multiple characters, then there's something there for guys, too.

I like to know where I am. I don't like the kind of cutting where you don't know where you are.

I'm not a snob. If I feel like there's a star that's the best person for that role, then that's who I get.

I'm not precious about anything. The effort it took to get something means nothing to me in post.And it means nothing to the audience. I'll chop limbs off. I'll put an arm where a leg should be. I'll do anything.

If I'm a director and I read a script and I say yeah I really want to do this, I would never walk away because the deal wasn't very good - that I wasn't getting paid very much or that the chances that I would see anything on the back end were remote because of the financial waterfall and the way it's structured. I would never use that as a reason not to do something.

I suppose I could try to be some avant-garde artist if I wanted to, but that doesn't interest me as much.

Everything is the director's fault - you can quote me on that. There are no excuses.
