The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.

I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.

I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

I'm trying to use the camera to get into people's heads. I use camera techniques a lot to articulate character.

Why are we rebuilding New Orleans? Whose idea was this, Aquaman?

Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.
