I think you write the film that you want to see, and you try and do it honestly, and you can't control people's responses, really.

I think you have to really, really want to be a film star.

I think it's good to have pressure on yourself. The worst crime is to get kind of really complacent.

I think where the criticism of videogames come from is where videogames are just Xeroxes of films, and when you get a film adaptation of that game, you've just Xeroxed something twice. I think that's where a lot of the criticism comes from - there are ultra-violent games that are already based on a million films.

My favorite film of all time is 'Raising Arizona.' I watched it again as soon as it was over. I had it on VHS, rented it, and I watched it and said, 'I want to watch that again, right now.' I think I did the same with something like 'Goodfellas,' which is a completely different genre.

Not everybody fantasizes about robbing a bank, but I think most people have that fantasy of being in a high speed chase.
