Reality television hasn't killed documentaries, because there are so many great documentaries still being made, but it certainly has changed the landscape.

Every weekend in history has worked for movies if the movie connects.

It's all about escapism. That's essentially what all movies are about. It's a vicarious thrill.

It becomes pretty crystal clear once you watch that first assembly [movie cut] the things that are just grinding it to a halt, so to speak, or slowing it down, or getting in the way, yeah.

I take it very seriously, music. I think it's one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue.

There's a darkness under 'The Hangover' because ultimately there's a missing person and it's not really that funny. There's a sort of darkness under it that I love, and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in 'Old School.'

Bangkok, like Las Vegas, sounds like a place where you make bad decisions.
