My principal job is to make interesting and entertaining films, and I'm not proud of which format or which particular technique I use. I just wanted the film to look good.

I'm not under too much of an illusion of how smart or un-smart I am because filmmaking ultimately is about teamwork.

You get a different kick out of all aspects of filmmaking.

On Lock, Stock, we didn't know where the money for shooting the next day was coming from.

There are times when I wonder how I ever thought that I could dramatize the death of a national discussion as a family comedy.

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Death is acceptable only if it represents the physically necessary passage toward a union, the condition of a metamorphosis.

I have an eight-year-old child, and I literally can't wrap my mind around the kind of grief that must be felt when you lose a child.
