happily
I would have happily done 'Bourne Legacy,' but a lot of decisions are made for you.
kids
I don't have any kids of my own.
buying certain front great joys love row seat watch work
One of the great joys of being able to write something you can make, if you get certain actors you want and love, you're kind of buying yourself a front row seat to watch them work.
good people seems
So many people wait around for funding, and if they're unsuccessful, they don't make the film; if you've got a good idea, that seems so pointless. There's always a way of doing it; you've just got to find it.
destroy
One wrong move, and you destroy your career.
behind hard hide putting work
Making a movie like 'Felony' is hard work because you're really putting your own ideas on the screen. You can't hide behind some other person's script; you're saying, 'This is my brain, and I want you to know what I think'.'
believer building great jumping sitting waiting
I'm a great believer in not sitting around waiting for the right part to come around, but jumping in and building it for yourself.
aspect good issue money
I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don't see why a movie can't make a lot of money and also be good.
work
If I'm going to work for twelve hours a day, I want twelve hours of awesomeness!
people
I find it strange when people can't relate to kids, because you were a kid once, you know?
amazing god holy jesus quickly stories
I did my holy communion, and it was amazing how quickly the stories of the Bible and God and Jesus got under my skin.
I did have someone tell me that I looked like Conan O'Brien. I was like, 'What?'
certain decides
What an audience decides about where certain characters come from is really up to them.
build learned seems
To me, Hollywood seems a little bipolar. Things happen; things don't happen. Someone's in a movie; someone's not in a movie. I've learned not to build my expectations.
