'Gunday' might not be the best film of my life, but it's been a life-altering film for me.

I've made some stupid decisions, so I have to be careful. I once said 'no' to a film that was a number-one hit. And 'Date Movie' had the smallest budget of any movie I'd been in, and it went to the top of the box office.

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.

Nobody would want to leave that film to go get high.

In a lot of movies, you'll see people on crazy dates, and you're like, 'No one would ever do that!'

Every Friday, my dad would rent three videos. Me and my brother would ask for something with guns or fighting, but my dad would say, 'Come on, think about it.' He'd choose more involving films like 'Pulp Fiction,' and at the end of the night, we'd agree that they were great.

If a film doesn't play, people aren't going to be that nice.

The worst thing you can do to a filmmaker is to walk out of his film and go, 'That was a nice movie.' But if you can cause people to walk out and then argue about the film on the sidewalk... I think we're all seeking dissension, and we love to affect an audience.

I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn't pay to see, or something that didn't challenge me.
