I Like Action Films, Not Exclusively, But

When You're A Houseguest And You Leave, It's Nice To Straighten Something Up Or Send Your Hosts A Useful Gift. And When You Leave The Planet, It's Nice To Have Made A Positive Contribution.

If You Were Falling In Love And You Could Go Back In Time And Relive A Day And See The Banal Things You Did That You'd Forgotten About, You'd Weep, Looking At That Day.

I Like Actors Who, When You See Them On Screen, You Sense A Person, Not Just An Actor.

My Flag Is Always Flying. My Shingle Is Always Out. I'm Always Looking For Movie Ideas. The Hardest Part Of This Whole Movie-making Endeavor Is Finding Ideas. That's The Real Goal.

I Could Never Be A Part Of An Adaptation Of A Film Where There's Pressure To Not Disappoint The Immense Fan Base. In Those Cases, They Often Wind Up With Filmed Books On Tape, Quite Uncinematic. Having Said That, I'd Say All The Adaptations I've Done Are Quite Faithful To The Original... You Have To Pick And Choose Which Storylines And Plot Threads, Because You Don't Have The Time To Kill In The Film As They Have In Novels. All Those Pages With Detours And Plots And Different Storylines. But Films Add A Lot, And You Gotta Keep It Moving.
