I got to work with Gene Hackman for six weeks, side by side, 12 hours a day.

I'm most interested in working and learning from different people and telling good stories.

There's an easygoing nature that comes with a perspective of things that aren't as important as we make them sometimes.

You were up at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then you'd ride in a caravan, because we didn't have big movie trucks or trailers that is the hardware of a movie camp.

Miramax can buy a small independent movie that isn't very good, but because it has great relationships with different theaters, it can get into a big theater.

I love vampire movies. I think they are sexy.
