Especially on 'Taken,' 'Taken' was not a big success the day of its release. It was released in France first, and it didn't do bad, but not as good as it did in the U.S.

'Taken' is a really difficult project because it was a big surprise for everybody.

I like David Lynch; I like Stanley Kubrick. I'm a big fan of Kubrick.

To be on the set with the actors, with the location, every day changes; every day something can go wrong.

When you make a movie, you really have to be clever and smart, find something new for the worldwide audience because you aren't making a movie for just France or Germany; it's for everyone in the world.

When you write a script, you always think about what your heart is asking.
