Ultimately, making movies, if you don't have a big star, it's hard to do. Or if it's not a star director.

I cry all the time - at work, at the shrink's, with my lady. 'The Notebook' killed me. 'Up' destroyed me.

I was a shy, quiet kid. I was happiest playing by myself with my toys, rather than hanging around people.

I wanted to do different movies. I wanted to do deeper movies. More human movies based on human feelings.
