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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The bittersweet about truth is that nothing could be more hurtful, yet nothing could be more helpful.

Trust no future howe'er pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act - act in the living Present! Heart within and God o'erhead.

I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.

Trust not what inspires other members of society to choose as a career. Trust what inspires you. From this decision alone will come over a third of your satisfaction or misery in your life.

Light threatens, is active, is gone, so it is with a song.

God knows how many things a man misses by becoming smug and assuming that matters will take their own course.

Websites should look good from the inside and out.

I feel blessed. So many men and women search and search but never find their passion, their calling, their sense of mission that would ignite their hearts and fill their lives with meaning and joy.

The guys that improve every year are those that are always adding something to their game.

The saddest things we fail at are fun things we never get to do, so in your busy day be sure to plan fun things too.
