Making a movie is like a marathon, and commercials are like sprints - they're equally satisfying, but in different ways.

The hardest scene for me is always the scene when I'm dealing with performances, when I'm actually looking at the guys and hoping that I'm covering it in the right way and that I'm handling it in the right way.

I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.

The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.

The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.

All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.

I always get role models, people from real life who've lived the lives of the characters, and talk it through together, me, them and the actor, a lot. That helps. We certainly have our disagreements. But in the end we trust each other.
