"I'm sure some people will say, 'Why do this?' And my response is, 'Why wouldn't you?' The film business in general is using a model that is outdated and, worse than that, inefficient."
Business
"I guess why the Ocean's films are hard for me is because on the one hand you have to make sure the performances are there, but on the other hand it's a film that demands, to my mind, a very layered and complex visual scheme. That takes a lot of time to figure out."
Time
"Warner Bros. has talked about going out with low-cost DVDs simultaneously in China because piracy is so huge there. It will be a while before bigger movies go out in all formats; in five years, everything will."

"When a film like Chris Nolan's Memento cannot get picked up, to me independent film is over. It's dead."
Film
"I guess I didn't feel confident enough to be searching in a big public way. I was very content at the time to toil in obscurity on things that I thought might point me in certain directions or teach me certain things - not knowing what that would be."
Time

Film
"A movie that costs only $1.6 million doesn't have to be a cultural event to turn a profit."

"When things go right it's hard to figure out why, but when things go wrong it's really easy."
Difficulty
"Traffic is about drugs. As detailed a portrait as I can muster about what is happening in the drug world, from top to bottom, from policy to how things move on the street."
Policy
"The key is, if you're not monkeying around with the script, then everything usually goes pretty well."
