I Like To Think That If I

No Matter What You're Doing, If You're Trying To Make A Movie, You Need To Be Working With People That Are Really Good And Who Make You Better.

One Of The Differences Between Now And Then Is That The Idea Of Body Image Is A Much Bigger Issue Now. Back Then, Just Being Kind Of Heavy And Barrel-chested Passed For Heroic. Now, You Wouldn't Dare To Play A Hero Without A Lot Of Dieting And Various Specialised Abdomen Machines. But That Was One Of The Things Which Was Interesting About It And I Did Want To Portray Because There's Good And Bad.

I Don't Want To Jump Off The Roof Or Jump For Joy Depending On My Movie Reviews, Or Whether It Makes Money. I Think The Larger, More Meaningful Things Are Family And The People You Love.

I Learned That As A Director, You're Around All These Talented People, So You Have This Window That All These Really Good Ideas Can Come In To Help Your Movie, So You're Crazy To Close Them. You Need To Be Inspiring People, Engaging People. There Are Lots Of People Who Are Really Good At Their Jobs But Might Not Know Or Feel Like They Want To Come Up To People And Get Them To Participate And Want To Do Their Best.

I Really Feel That's Part Of Why Audiences Go To Movies Now Is To Take You To A World You Have No Access To, Whether It's The World Of Avengers Or Middle-earth Or Bars In Boston You Would Be Afraid To Go Into. You See Characters There - They Aren't Hobbits But They're Close.
