I'm sure when they partied when Rome was burning, that was a really great party.

David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.

All you can really do as director is sort of set a tone.

You think of movies like 'Midnight Run' and '48 Hours', those are great movies, especially 'Midnight Run.'

Nowadays, the truth is, I think a lot of the newer generation of action stars usually are pretty self-deprecating and cool. I mean, Dwayne Johnson is a great example.

When the movie starts playing on TV and DVD, that's when you really see what the movie is.
