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 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.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family.

Out of the total of 11 movies, I got slammed.

I have a short attention span.

I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.
