I think there are only two times that I've ever ended up paying somebody their quote. Like what they actually were worth in the marketplace.

I find myself in situations a lot where I have to say to someone, "This can be better," and it's hard to say that.

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.

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

I'm always a little unnerved when I see a show that's set in the past that implies in any way that things were nicer then.

It's a world in which people's motives are questionable and shadowy.

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.
