If you're sitting around thinking what other people think about your work, you'll just become paralysed.

I stopped reading reviews about my own movies. I read stuff about other people's movies.

I'm a grinder. I'll beat you because I will not sleep.

I don't consider myself to be particularly gifted in the way that other filmmakers are gifted.

I'm not going to spend two years of my life on something that I'm not excited about.

Never done an explosion, but I have had explosive diarrhea, and that was very, very real. Good thing I have my trailer.

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.
