I Would Love A Robot Butler.

You Can't Reinvent The Wheel. You've Got To Just Take The Best From All The Other Shows And Try To Make It Work, Because There's The "live Show Gods" That Dictate If There Are Going To Be Any Surprises, If There's A Very Commercial Film That's A Best Picture. There Are A Lot Of Things That Are Out Of My Control, But I Do My Best.

I Personally Can Watch An Eight-hour Documentary On Woody Allen Because I'm Fascinated By Him. But, An Audience Can't Really Sit Through More Than Two And A Half Hours On Any Movie. It Doesn't Matter If Marlon Brando Came Back From The Dead. It's Just Impossible.

I Love 'guitar Hero,' And I Think It's A Part Of Pop Culture.

At The End Of The Day, Audiences Just Want To Laugh And Be Entertained. They Want To Escape From Their Reality, And That's Why We Make Movies, To Get People To Escape From The Realities.

The Producer Can Put Something Together, Package It, Oversee It, Give Input. I'm The Kind Of Producer That Likes To Take A Back Seat And Let The Director Run With It. If He Needs Me, I'm There For Him. As A Director, I Like To Have The Producer There With Me. As A Producer, I Don't Want To Be There Because I Happen To Be A Director First And Foremost, I Don't Want To "that Guy."
