“You can win more arguments then you might think as a writer, even though you legally have no recourse, and your script can get muddied and altered in any way possible. You can use reason, logic, and passion to argue persuasively for a case in your favor.”
“You have to keep surprising your audience.”
“Any time anyone fires bullets in an action movie that don't hit the target it immediately undermines the movie.”
“For years I was doing the excruciating weightlifting of writing scripts - but then I stayed thin and someone else got all the muscles.”
“I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes.”
“I have these guilty pleasures, these failed films that don't work at all, but I'll watch them if they're on. Like 'The Game.'”
“I've turned down lots and lots of work. Things that could have made me some money.”
“I think about the audience in the sense that I serve as my own audience. I have to please myself the way, if I saw the movie in a theater, I would be pleased. Do I think about catering to an audience? No.”
“I'll say, what makes me happy about making movies is, every once in a while through movies we find a kind of honesty. There's an honesty in fiction that's as effective or even more powerful than the honesty of our lives. We can find something that's genuinely true, like a chemistry between people or a statement that speaks to an audience.”
“An action movie should, like any other, follow the narrative traditions of literature. That means there should be subtlety, a slow build and a gradual bringing together of all the separate threads of the plot. To see all of it coming together slowly is very rewarding for the audience.”
