I've done quite a few big American films.

I've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.

I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time.

I now have two different audiences. There's the one that has been watching my action films for 20 years, and the American family audience. American jokes, less fighting.

We are the movies and the movies are us.

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

There's nothing more American than movies.

I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.

I don't really consider myself an American filmmaker like, say, Ron Howard might be considered an American filmmaker. If I'm doing something and it seems to me to be reminiscent of an Italian giallo, I'm gonna to do it like an Italian giallo.

I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.
