      His films lack post-credits scenes because he considers them a cheat if you can't end a film properly before the credits.
    • Quotes
      We should be writing more great roles for women, period. Another problem is that movies are generally made for 14-year-old boys and 14-year-old boys want to watch 25-year-old action heroes.
