All human interaction, you can break it down to incentives. All relationships, at some level, are transactional. They're fascinated with incentives.

I've never been a snob. It [movie] is just about stories. And I've never felt just because it's a big screen and you plop down your eight bucks that gives it a special meaning. It's just "Are you good at telling a story?"

It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.

You're being mean to someone who's helping you. What is that? Everyone knows who the assholes are, and I avoid them.

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

A movie is something you see, cinema is something that’s made.

A real explosion is not only much more fun to shoot, it also helps the actors and creates an energy on set and ultimately in the scene.
