A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.

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

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

I always get everyone prepared so there aren't so many arguments on set. I have a policy that the first thing I do in the morning is go over to the trailers and discuss exactly what we're shooting that day. It's time-consuming but it reduces the chances of 'misunderstandings' on set.

I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.

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