Personal Quotes

"People look at me like I'm a first-time director. It drives me insane. I've produced six movies."

"Luck is a huge factor in my career. Most people are given opportunities. Lucky people recognize them and take them."

"Prep properly and you make a great movie."

"Making the movie was the time of my life. It's like I was drinking out of a box wine, and here's a 1988 Latour with a great piece of steak and foie gras and cheese -- pure delight and amazement."

"If you give the audience what they expect, they'll be bored. There are no rules: You do what you want while respecting the boundaries. You don't poke people in the eye; you do things they haven't seen before and make it accessible, funny and clever."

If you've got the money, you can do anything on film these days. Nothing is impossible, which becomes boring to me. I used CG as a prop to the story, not the other way around.
