I can't go and shoot people in the back of the head because It's a kids' movie, which is actually quite a good test because you haven't got the overt threat of a knife in the face.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And anyway, it's only movies. to stop me I think they'll ahve to shoot me in the head.
When people don't like the film, I can take a bullet. I don't mind you talking about me, but I'm protective of my actors, because they bared their soul for me.
Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head.
When you are shooting in a conventional way, you put nets around yourself. It's very hard to fall and hit the ground. You can always manipulate things to make it not embarrassing. If the scene is a little bit bad, you can polish it or even take it out. You can hide your mistakes.
You have to realize, in real life, the gun battle lasted for over three hours, and the movie's only two hours long. My hat's off to all those stuntmen who laid it on the line and hurt themselves doing what they had to do to get that done because in real life, we all died, and the only reason I'm sitting here is because of modern medicine.
Before the film begins shooting, in your head, you need to be the character. You have to convince yourself somehow.
You know, I've never shot a gun in a movie.
From the director's point of view, it's infinitely easier to do violence than to do a good dramatic scene.
We take safety very, very seriously on every film I make, and that's why I've never had a serious accident or anybody killed when I make a picture.
Staring down the barrel of a gun is the scariest thing you could ever experience. It's not funny. It's not for the movies.
