I Believe In God, Absolutely.

I Think People Go To The Movies To Be Entertained, To Have An Experience, To Disappear From Their Own Reality For A Couple Of Hours. If The Film Truly Succeeds In Everything The Filmmaker Sets Out For It To Be, Then It's Elevated To Art. It's Elevated To Something Special, Because It Gives People A Visceral Feeling Of Something They're Experiencing As A Collective Group. You Feel Something And That's What Turns It Into What You May Call Art.

I Would Be Lying To You If I Said I Wouldn't Love For It [equalizer] To Become A Franchise, I Would Love For It To Become A Hit And All That Great Stuff.

You Could Call It That [urban Western], I Guess, You Could Certainly Call It That. A Lot Of These Types Of Films Are, Really, If You Get Down To The Core Most Suspense Thrillers In This Genre, The Western Is Sort Of The Birth Of It All.

You Want To Take Yourself Seriously, And You Want To Make Something That You Hope Will Have Resonance With The Audience. You Want To Bring Your Perspective And What You Consider Your Talent To That Piece Of Work, And You Move Forward In That Direction. Sometimes That's Easy, And Sometimes It's Met With Resistance Because You're Dealing With Situations Where, For Everybody Else, It's A Piece Of Business.
