“My goal from the very beginning was to make very visually lush, juicy films that you can really sink your teeth into. That's always been part of my modus operandi.”

“The thing I do miss about the way some sequels were in the past was that each film felt like its own unique, complete tone. Now, sequels are tonal facsimiles of the ones before them, like a television series, whereas back in the past sequels would often be radically different from the ones before.”

“A lot of films mistake convolutedness for complexity. To me, a simple story can be a powerful spine to build around.”

“It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man. I don't get a lot of those. I get a lot of supporting things.”

“My mother was a biographer's dream and a nightmare. She was a dream because she was a classic to write about and everybody loves her. She was a nightmare because there are no scandals, quasi-cruelties, no really juicy stuff.”

“As an actor, the flaws are the things that are juicy to play. If the character is perfect, it can be a little boring.”
