“You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.”

“I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.”

“Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.”

“I turn on the TV sometimes, start watching something and think: 'This seems quite good, a bit familiar.' Then I realise... It's one of my movies. It's a pretty odd feeling.”

“The thing about sports movies is, they can't help but feel epic - putting music to images, etc.”

“The quality of American patents has been deteriorating for years; they are increasingly issued for products and processes that are not truly innovative - things like the queuing system for Netflix, which was patented in 2003. Yes, it makes renting movies a snap, but was it really a breakthrough deserving patent protection?”
