I'm A Huge Fan Of The Navy.

I Had Great Luck With Tim Mcgraw Twice In 'friday Night Lights' And 'the Kingdom.' I Love Finding Off-beat Casting And Finding Someone You Know In One Way And You Reinvent Them In Another Way. I Like Doing That As A Director.

I Tend To Not Have To Handle Things That Are Probably Gonna End Up Being Irrelevant, That Aren't Gonna Have Much To Do With The Film. I Have Probably A Better Understanding Of Really What Does Matter, When To Pick My Battles And When To Kind Of Let Them Go.

One Of The Things That's Fascinating About Making Movies Is A Movie When It's Done And You Start Showing It To People, It Reveals Its Impact, Which Is Often Times Not What You Thought.

I Somewhere Along The Way Became Fascinated With Exploring Characters Who Are Willing To Put Themselves Into Violent Situations, Whether It's Football, Hockey, Boxing, Being A Cop, Being A Soldier. There's Not A Lot Of People Who Are Willing To Put Themselves Into Those Situations.

I Think The Biggest Challenge Was Being Aware Of A Certain Audience That Was Going To See This Film [lone Survivor]. There's A Big Difference From A Typical Movie, Journalists And Critics And Film Goers That Go See It Find That, That's The General Experience You Have As A Filmmaker. So That Just Kind Of Proves My Point That There's A Really Different Audience.
