I'm a big believer that if there's something you really want to do, don't walk away because of the deal.

I'm probably more character-driven than plot-driven. It's rare for me to attach myself to an idea for a story.

Castro, without question, is one of the smartest politicians that's ever walked.

I know why we can't have a frank discussion with our policymakers - if you're in the government or in law enforcement you cannot acknowledge that drugs are anything but inherently evil and morally wrong.

My first three movies, I didn't start editing until we were finished shooting. That's unthinkable to me now.

If you're not flying people around on wires, and you're only allowing them to do things that people can really do, it can't go on for very long, because eventually somebody gets the drop on the other person and then it's over.

You got to deal with reviews the same way you deal with your views, which I a long time ago stopped reading because the point is if you believe the good ones you have to believe the bad ones. It's kind of all or nothing.
