When people are still getting pleasure from something that you did 30 years ago, it makes you feel good. I always say it makes an old man happy.

I think the problem with the cinema currently is that so much of the money that goes movies that offer a certain kind of repetition.

I don't much like looking back.

All producers encourage you, whatever it is, to make it more-so. If you've got a joke, can it be funnier? If you've got an action sequence, can it be more exciting? That's the nature of being a producer.

I think action movies on the whole have moved more and more into large spectacle, even leaving out super hero movies that seem to me to be more a fantastic science fiction than they are action movies.

There's a tricky tone where you try to get some humor into a movie that's also a tough tale of murder and revenge. You have to ice skate rather carefully between the humor and the action tension part of the drama.

I always loved comic books and I'm still a great fan of the graphic novel.
