I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.

Before I go off and direct a movie, I always look at four films. They tend to be The Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and The Searchers.

I would love to do a musical. I would love that. I would have to find the right book, the right story, but some day I'm going to make one. I would really like to go off and direct a musical. That's what I would really like to do when I grow up.

My head's not in the clouds, but I think I've gotten too much credit for being an astute businessman.

Why pay a dollar for a bookmark? Why not use the dollar for a bookmark?

I don't make unconventional stories; I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot.

You shouldn't dream your film, you should make it!
