Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

Everybody accuses me of moving fast when I direct a picture. I don't move fast, but I just keep moving.

There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I'll just put the stool out there and I'll talk to Mr. Obama and ask him why he didn't keep all of the promises he made to everybody.

I just make the pictures and where they fall is where they fall. If somebody likes them, that's always nice. And if they don't like them, then too bad.

Every story has its demands.
