I don't storyboard, and I don't really shot list. I let the shots be determined by how the actors and I figure out the blocking in a scene, and then from there, we cover it.

I was a big history buff as a teenager.

There are elements to the 19th century which just don't work for contemporary audiences.

You need the actors to feel as much ownership of the performance and the direction of the story as you do to get the most out of everyone's potential. Part of it is just making sure we all have the same vision.

One of my problems with a lot of things I watch is that everybody's too pretty, and it takes me out of the film because I'm thinking that all these people look like I've seen them in a cafe in Los Angeles.

Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.

I want the young guys to say, 'How old is this guy that's blocking me every play?'

If you are trying to favor the unions by having more rigid labor market and keeping wages very high, you could be blocking people from getting new jobs.

I could score some points, but I take more satisfaction in blocking shots, rebounding and getting my teammates open shots.
