Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.

I like the smell of film. I just like knowing there's film going through the camera.

Unprotected sex just feels better in a Waffle House bathroom.

My dad took me to my first movie. It was 'The Greatest Show on Earth' in 1952, a movie of such scale it was actually a traumatic experience.

I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.

All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.
