I've made a lot of stupid action films in my life but I like stupid action films and am kind of proud of them.

I will always continue to make stupid action films but I think 'V For Vendetta' is a very smart film and I think that people will feel differently about things when they see it.

I've made a lot of stupid action films. But when we made The Matrix, we saw that people wanted more than that.

I'm not looking to... I'd like to build my company and make a bigger company always, but I think in the behind the scenes arena is where I'd prefer to spend my time.

The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.

When California provides the same value as other locations, I'd gladly shoot all my pictures here.

Well, I haven't really been able to shoot in California for a while. Little movies yeah, but the big movies we can't shoot there. It's just a shame that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't deliver on this level.

My movies have always done pretty well in the UK - 'The Matrix' films did very well in this country and I do like the crews here and the people we're working with here.

I always had the ability to throw a frisbee pretty well. I don't why.

The idea of a youth-based society that you live in for a certain time and then you no longer live anymore is an interesting idea for a movie, but you need young people that people want to go see.

When I read 'Watchmen,' it changed my view of so many things. It was the first time I'd read a graphic novel really like that.

It's financially advantageous to make a picture in Berlin, Germany. They have a very effective rebate system.
