It's pretty clear to me that working as a director for hire agrees with me. I like it. The films that have come out of that, I personally like better than the ones that didn't.

Every time you make something that somebody likes, your impulse is to remind them that if you hadn't made some of these other things that they hated, you wouldn't have been able to make the thing that they liked.

I like to make all kinds of movies. I'd do 'Ocean's Thirteen' with the right script.

The key is, how do you feel with the one asshole? They cannot be talked to. That's why they are assholes.

Nobody's talking about movies the way they're talking about their favorite TV shows.

Well, it's 15 years since Sex, Lies And Videotape, and if you hang around long enough you're having the same arguments with just a new set of people every few years and it gets boring.

What are the stories you want people to tell about you?
