Look at Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster: It's an incredible performance.

As a filmmaker, "no" is not in my vocabulary. I've got to figure out a way.

I feel very comfortable shooting music, and I think you can see that.

I love actors and I understand what has to happen within a scene. Any scene is an acting scene and actors never act alone, so there has to be an interchange. If it's a dialog scene, if it's a love scene, it doesn't matter because you need to establish a situation.

Russell Crowe is very difficult, but it's worth it. He's the real thing. I can tell you this. Russell Crowe was just as difficult before he was an international star as he was afterwards.

If people are worried about the size of their trailers, I kind of say their priorities are off.

I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.
