Quotes:
  • You have a movie and it proves itself and then certain things happen.
  • Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation. All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free.
  • We're talking about a very strange time [in Hollywood], to be honest. Writing by committee becomes much less about a vision. It is really about a piece of merchandise. We excuse movies like Independence Day (1996) that really lack logic and say, 'It - doesn't make any sense, but it's a ride. I thought a movie was a movie and a ride was a ride.
  • I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.
