I think I'm probably one of the worst directors around, but I do have an interest in my fellow man.

I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.

If I'm going to produce something, it's going to be with somebody I think is special. Once I go beyond a handful of directors, like Scorsese, there are very few I want to work with.

Obviously I would love to work with all these great directors like the Coen Brothers, Tarantino. Robert Rodriguez is a dream director of mine.

I like to just work with great directors.

I've worked with a lot of great directors.

Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.

I've been really lucky not to have a duff experience with a director.

I'm very fortunate to have the privilege of working with directors like Bill Condon and Paul Thomas Anderson, who I think is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.
