I'm done with effects movies for now. When you do a movie like 'Transformers,' it can feel like you're doing three movies at once - which is tiring.

I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.

I make movies for teenage boys. Oh, dear, what a crime.

Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism.

Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it's, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot.

Fast cars are my only vice.

Why isn't everything exploding?!

I'm one of the few directors that actually shoots a lot in camera.

Maybe I have just a younger voice than many other directors.

I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this business. The only way I get back is with success.

Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in 'Transformers.' I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films.

There were rules among friends, commandments, really, and the most important one was Thou Shalt Not Lust After Thy Friend's Sister.

Language is the art of experience

Give your subconscious a chance to work by turning your brain off from time to time. Don't focus on work or solving problems constantly.

For whatever reason, we like to focus on the 2 percent that's different, and most of the conflict in the world comes from that.

If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

I've always been curious in why different people believe the things they do and do the things they do - in the different ways that people live.

I want to be able to infuse some youthful energy and comedy while appreciating the generations before.

It can always get worse.

None are so fallible as those who are sure they're right.
