'Chronicle 2' has become this question of, 'How do we all make a movie that we all respect?' And that's true to what 'Chronicle' is. There's no one at the studio who wants to make a bad movie. They all want to make a good movie just as much as I do.

A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes.

It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.

The truth is when you have a movie that was as successful as 'Chronicle' was, it's not as quick of a process. There are a lot more voices coming in and saying 'This is what the sequel should be' because there's a bigger expectation and a bigger fear of failure. And that's really what's going on with 'Chronicle 2.'

No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.

My favorite movie is 'Die Hard.' It doesn't have pinatas and mariachis. It's just a good movie.
