If you change the rules on what controls you... you will change the rules on what you can control.
I got into film-making because I was interested in making entertaining movies, which I felt there was a lack of.
The best thing to do is find one person in your life and try to love them unconditionally. If you've accomplished that, you've accomplished a lot.
If somebody has a better idea than me, I'll take it if it surpasses what we have on the page because at the end of the day, it's me that takes the credit anyway!
I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.
My principal job is to make interesting and entertaining films, and I'm not proud of which format or which particular technique I use. I just wanted the film to look good.
I don't know. I mean ... she ends up sort of directing things anyway, so I don't think it'll be anything new.
We would be grateful if the media would kindly allow us some privacy at this special time, ... We thank you all for your good wishes.
Yeah, I'm certainly a lot more confident on this one than I was one the last one, which I think can be a good thing and a bad thing. But, at least I slept while making this film.
Well, what I try to do is throw as much mud on the wall as I possibly can and just see what sticks, what shines as quirky or more interesting that the others, and I try to cling onto that one, somehow join a link from there to there.
We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.
All the other guys I think had a scream on Lock, Stock. They just had a laugh and a crack, and thought it would never come out; they were just having a good time. On this one, I felt that.
It's about not letting the internal enemy, the real enemy, have his way because the more he does the stronger he becomes. The film's about the devastating results that can manifest from the internal enemy being unbridled and allowed to unleash chaos.
He's also the best family man: It looks like he's really good with the kids. Basically, he's the perfect man, but there's one problem: He's married to Madonna.
