Some directors are like it's their... nothing can change, nothing can move. I like collaborating, even when an extra has an idea, I like to bring to really have collaboration.

All the superhero stuff is Greek myths and Greek gods, wearing tights and capes. That's what they are. That's what I gravitate towards.

When I was in film school I was learning more theory than practice.

Directing is like cooking, it's like cuisine. You cannot make a great dish with bad ingredients. I have great actors, and I'm putting them together. That's all I'm doing.

I love comedies and I like sometimes comedies have a tendency to get a bit lazy. ‘The Other Guys’ was not lazy.

French cinema has always been very interesting, and it's still very powerful. I think it goes to show that it's great to still have a cinema that doesn't try to emulate, for example, American cinema.

I just wanted to make a properly good movie, and not beg for the love of the fans.

The 2-D movie works as well as the 3-D movie. I want to make sure that people like the 2-D version. It's not a gimmick. It actually improves the viewing experience, but the movie stands on its own.

The movies like "Star Wars," for example or "Lord Of The Rings," they work because it's a a mix of everything.

Every actor is different so you cannot become best friends on Day One. You just have to learn to know each other.

I think our movie, 'Now You See Me, ' is an emotional movie rooted in smart and wits and fully amazing actors working perfectly together. It's like a supergroup of musicians.

love being such, or such, the normal corners of your heartwill never guess how muchmy wonderful jealousy is dark

Thank the past for all the lessons it taught you

I'm as passionate as any car owner or car collector that has one car or 300 cars.

Consider it the greatest of all virtues to restrain the tongue.

I haven't found a comfortable place onstage. I'm sure it doesn't have to be comfortable, but I'm very nervous, so I don't enjoy myself.

Before you speak, my friend, remember, a spiritual man contain his anger. Angry words are like slap in de face.

The Word of God became man, that thou mayest learn from man how man may become God.

The idea of performing some of Jack Skellington's songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas live for the very first time is immensely exciting.

One of my biggest lessons has been to be easier on myself and not make things such a big deal.

Me, I have a science fiction writer's conviction that the damn robot is supposed to speak human, not the other way around.
