Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it's, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot.

I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.

I make movies for teenage boys. Oh, dear, what a crime.

Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism.

Fast cars are my only vice.

Why isn't everything exploding?!

I'm one of the few directors that actually shoots a lot in camera.

Maybe I have just a younger voice than many other directors.

I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this business. The only way I get back is with success.

Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in 'Transformers.' I like to think that I've had some luck in building actors' careers with my films.

It is impossible not to live miserably if one chooses to frequently focus on one's disappointments, mistakes, failures, weaknesses, difficulties, and people's negative opinions.

I was a huge Muppet fan growing up, but that was the extent of my puppet knowledge. I really loved the art form and the whole Henson universe.

The art of appreciation begins with self appreciation.

Business, like a jackal, trotted on the heels of war.

The person who has the most to do what happens to you in life is you. Not somebody else and not the environment.

The period of meditation is a time when we go back to the source. We go back to what we were before we were born.

Let no man under value the price of a virtuous woman's counsel.

In the editing process, I delete what I do not want to use, move what remains around if necessary and add elements that I feel will make my visual statement as clear and understandable as possible.

When I die, my epitaph should read: She Paid the Bills. That's the story of my private life.

Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.
