There's a few movies I wanted to do, and I didn't get to do them partly because they wanted me to be part of the horse and pony show, getting the money, and I'm just not doing that. There's a few movies that people wanted me to do, but they were too safe.

Making movies is like herding cats.

Inherently, making a movie is tough because there's so much anticipation when it happens - even if everything goes well.

You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.

You never know how films are going to do and it is daunting if I think about it.

A lot of films come out before they're finished.

The usual key to getting films made seems to be a producer's terrier-like determination not to let it go. Unfortunately, such producers often seem prone to sinking their claws into mediocre projects.

Any time you make a movie where you're living in a certain head space for an extended period of time, it's tough not to take a little piece home with you.

I just don't know that a TV show demands a movie ending.

I don't think action alone is enough to sustain a film franchise. There are tons of action movies out there that come and go and people don't care about.
