"I've got two successful movies on my back as it stands at the moment, very successful movies. It's made things a little easier in many respects, (but) ultimately there's only a finite number of good scripts out there. There's only a finite number of interesting subjects. You have to go looking for it. Something doesn't just stop coming to you. I get more offers but not necessarily offers of good stuff."Freep.com: Five Questions... (January 15, 2009)
