I think the combination of action and the combination of comedy are two really, really good genres to meld together.

I think that if you're creating an environment completely or...in my research, what I've learned is that if it's a CG world or a lot of visual effects, you're almost better doing that in post.

I think there was always something that everybody wishes they could relive in high school.

I think certain movies are right for 3D. I think certain movies are not right for 3D. And I think the specialness of 3D will be worn off if every movie becomes 3D.

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.

As a filmmaker, you look for a story, and the story has to have conflict and a match of opposites.

'Tis God gives skill, but not without men's hand: He could not make Antonio Stradivarius's violins without Antonio.

sometimes I think I've got this hard kernel in my heart, and nothing much can get inside it. I doubt if I can really love anybody.

Wine is meant to be with food - that's the point of it.

My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants.
