The Perceived Wisdom Is That People Do

I Think Movies Are A Director's Medium In The End. Theater Is The Actor's Medium. Theater Is Fast, And Enjoyable, And Truly Rewarding. I Believe In Great Live Performance.

I Deliberately, In A Way, Went For Something That Was A Huge Challenge And Was A Big Period Film. I Was Excited About The Canvas On Which I Could Tell The Story As Much As The Story Itself.

I've Made Movies That Cost Less Than One Car Chase. But That's Part Of The Pleasure Of Doing It, Pushing Yourself In New Directions.

You've Got To Work. You've Got To Want An Audience To Sit Forward In Their Chairs Sometimes, Rather Than Sit Back And Be Bombarded With Images.

The Movies That Influenced Me Were Movies That Told Their Stories Through Pictures More Than Words.
