Because I've made a film with such an amazing director as Tarantino, I'm much more conscious of working with good directors from now on, so that's what's important to me. I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.

You do small movies because the script is good and because you believe in the director. You don't care about the money. And when they disappear, it's a pity.

That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.

I worked on three independent movies in close succession and... I really learned from those directors how to stay on budget, make your days, get it done, keep everyone happy, which is a huge thing in a movie, and to steer the ship.

I want to work with great directors. I've picked films based on the script or the character and seen them collapse because the directors were not strong visionaries.

One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.

There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.

I don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.

You can have an amazing director and terrible script, and the film's not going to be great. But if you have the most incredible script and an okay director, you could still get a really good film.
