I Haven't Read A Review

I'm An Unusual Director In That My Cut Is Usually Shorter Then The Final Released Film. I Like Short Films.

I Was Seeing A Lot Of Really Good Things About Get Shorty When It Came Out, And My Wife Pointed Out That If You Validate The Good Reviews, You Also Have To Validate The Bad Reviews.

I Haven't Read A Review Of One Of My Films For The Best Part Of 10 Years.

Michael Jackson Wanted To Be In Men In Black Ii. He Told Me He Had Seen The First Men In Black In Paris And Had Stayed Behind And Sat There And Wept. I Had To Explain To Him That It Was A Comedy.

The First Cut I Do Is Usually Between Five And 10 Minutes Shorter Then The Cut That We Release. Anything I Think Isn't Working Or Might Not Work, I Don't Even Put It In The Director's Cut. And Usually It's The Studio Suggesting I Put Stuff Back In, As Opposed To Studios Saying, "you Got To Lose 40 Minutes," They Are Always Saying, "you've Got To Gain Five Minutes."
