As A First-time Director In

You Just Never Know When Movies Are Going To Take Off Or Not. The Lucky Thing About This Was That It Didn't Cost A Lot Of Money, And Therefore There Wasn't Loads Of Pressure On Me.

I Like Throwing Snowballs At Small Children.

There Have Been Screenwriters Who I'm Sure Would Gladly Kill Me, Because I've Been Very Fast And Loose With Their Work, Because I Felt Like It Wasn't Up To My High Standards. I Would Push And Pull It On Set, And Make Changes All The Time. But Then When You're Working With An Original Screenplay, My Theater Instincts Kick In, And I Suddenly Become Very Keeper-of-the-words.

You've Got To Believe As A Filmmaker That If A Movie's Good Enough, It's Going To Survive; And If It's Not, Well, It Won't.

Listen, You Make A Big Movie, You're Going Into The Coliseum, And People Are Going To Give You The Thumbs Up Or The Thumbs Down. And That's Part Of The Game. It's Part Of The Fun As Well.
