Citas

Owen's a really relaxed, good fun guy. If he has a problem he's going to take you into a corner and discuss it, he won't make a fool out of you because he's a decent human being. - On working with Owen Wilson
He has to be able to do all the heavy lifting just by turning his head and looking at you. But he's a very effective little actor. We found him in New York. We cast in London and America and initially I was worried that people weren't going to turn up because I can imagine parents might struggle with the notion of asking their kids to play this part. It's like when Bruno Ganz brilliantly played Hitler in The Downfall, it was a hell of a choice. - On Seamus Davey Fitzpatrick and casting for the role of Damien in The Omen.
Behind Enemy Lines, my first movie, was... well as some critics quite fairly described it, an awful Hollywood swing at a complex political situation in Bosnia. You know, there are subject matters that a lot of people in the world would be horrified to think that a director like me would be approaching, but I still have ambitions to make some movies that are entertaining and touch on some of the stuff we're dealing with now. - On his first movie Behind Enemy Lines
It continues to be a challenge. We're right in the middle of it now. We're suffering from what I call Batman blowback. The Motion Picture Association of America gave The Dark Knight a PG-13 rating and basically sucked Warner Bros. cock. I have a serious amount of issues with the MPAA. Did you know it was made up of volunteers? As if that somehow excludes them from some type of wrongdoing. You can't serve on it if you're a homosexual or if you didn't grow up in a shared parenthood home. Go to their website and read their charter about what gives a fair and balanced view for typical parents. We're still strangled by an association that's straight out of the House Un-American Activities Committee. - On the MPAA and Max Payne initially getting an R rating
