• "If all goes well, I'll be making films for the rest of my life, so I don't feel the need to make my $100 million box-office classic right now. I've made two movies. I don't know a thing about filmmaking. Ten years from now, when I've made another 10 movies, maybe I'll have the chops to make a great film."
• "I suffer from Irish-Catholic guilt. Guilt is a good reality check. It keeps that 'do what makes you happy' thing in check."
