directors great terrible work
You work with great directors and terrible directors, and so you learn; you take what you think will work for you.
decent films might money perform
There are films that cost a lot of money that might be decent films. But if they don't perform in that first weekend or two, they're gone.
I find writing really difficult - definitely the most difficult of all the things I do.
I don't make my living writing; I make my living as a producer and as a director.
great movies whatever
Creatively, it's great, because when you write your own movies, you get to create whatever you want.
Actors know how to talk to other actors in a way that sometimes other directors just don't.
expecting folks men
'Monuments Men' is a movie... I don't want to say for grown-ups, because some young folks could appreciate it, too. But if you're expecting 'Transformers,' you're going to be disappointed.
catch explaining instead people throw
I think it's more interesting to throw people into a story and let them catch up instead of explaining and feeling like you have to slow down for them. I think audiences, for the most part, they don't want to be ahead of you.
time
It takes a long time to get a film made.
hope strongly
You have to make films you feel strongly about. And then hope you can find the audience.
money wake
When I write, I make decent money doing it, but I don't wake up dreaming about writing.
men
'Monuments Men' is not a docudrama. It's not a documentary.
