Over the years Woodstock got glorified and romanticised and became the event that symbolised Utopia. It's the last page of our collective memory of the age of innocence. Then things turned ugly and would never be the same again.

Economically, it's more expensive to make movies. I hope digital movies change that.

I'm just a pretty regular dad.

Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.

I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.

I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.

My father was the center of the family, and everyone tried to please him.

Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.

You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.

The fear factor actually brings the genuineness.
