I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.
I wanted to do a war movie, a western and an alien movie. In reality, there are a lot of ugly things happening in the world.
I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.
Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.
I've not made a career of being physical in my movies, but I love sports. I'm a very physical guy.
It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it.
I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn't look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there's only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.
I always ask, why can't I be just like Cary Grant or something.
Filmmaking is a difficult process. There are the logistics of making a film. You have to do your part, and then change the entire thing around to do someone else's part. A lot of the magic is lost, in between that, and you have to figure out how to get it back.
But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go.
There are different reasons to make movies.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
I think they are very important because westerns have a code and a symbolism.
The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
