I would always rather do a mediocre script with a great filmmaker than a great script with a mediocre filmmaker.

On the making of hit movie Spiderman: They put me in this big harness. It was really unflattering to the figure.
We spent a month on that scene and it goes by in a minute.
They're the ones who saw 'Titanic' eight times, ... Those are the people who keep paying, and like, there really isn't other things for teen-agers to do -- especially when you live in certain places. There's the movie theater, there's the mall, and that's pretty much it.
