The 2-D movie works as well as the 3-D movie. I want to make sure that people like the 2-D version. It's not a gimmick. It actually improves the viewing experience, but the movie stands on its own.

All the superhero stuff is Greek myths and Greek gods, wearing tights and capes. That's what they are. That's what I gravitate towards.

When I was in film school I was learning more theory than practice.

Directing is like cooking, it's like cuisine. You cannot make a great dish with bad ingredients. I have great actors, and I'm putting them together. That's all I'm doing.

I love comedies and I like sometimes comedies have a tendency to get a bit lazy. ‘The Other Guys’ was not lazy.

French cinema has always been very interesting, and it's still very powerful. I think it goes to show that it's great to still have a cinema that doesn't try to emulate, for example, American cinema.

I just wanted to make a properly good movie, and not beg for the love of the fans.

Some directors are like it's their... nothing can change, nothing can move. I like collaborating, even when an extra has an idea, I like to bring to really have collaboration.

The movies like "Star Wars," for example or "Lord Of The Rings," they work because it's a a mix of everything.

Every actor is different so you cannot become best friends on Day One. You just have to learn to know each other.

I think our movie, 'Now You See Me, ' is an emotional movie rooted in smart and wits and fully amazing actors working perfectly together. It's like a supergroup of musicians.

It's not the things I don't understand about the Bible that bother me

It is always possible that a stupid and a mean leader can keep winning the elections and as for the result, there is no possibility here, there is only certainty: His country will keep sinking!

Listen to my story and everything will come out true

Pure water is the best gifts a man can bring. But who am I that I should have the best of anything? Let princes revel at the pump, let peers with ponds make free, ...beer is good enough for me.

Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.

Those who love are but one step from heaven.

As far as expectations go, you can never work for expectations. You have to work against them.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

Pray like it all depends on God, then when you are done, go work like it all depends on you.

Quitting is the easiest thing to do.
