You know what your problem is it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies.

Obviously I've been on sets before but nothing as big as 'Twilight.' You forget sometimes that you're on set of one of the biggest movies ever- so when you just sit back and think about it its just so incredible. It's such a great learning experience.

To make a kung fu film is like a dream come true because I'm a big fan of kung fu movies and I'm learning kung fu for a long time.

Of course I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.

Probably having fallen in love with music and movies at a young age and then first learning about writing by kind of following the path of writers like Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs and being a rock journalist.

The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves.

There's some movies I watch they're kind of like my anti-anxiety pill my anti-depressant pill. I watch them at least once or twice a month probably. And I never stop learning from them as a filmmaker.

Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.

I can't do the same movies all my life. I'm conscious of that. But it's a trade-off. 'Dear John' allowed me to do movies I've wanted to do. You learn to balance it out. I'm still learning. Only now am I getting to do the kinds of movies that I have wanted to do. So it's a steady climb. You don't jump into a Soderbergh film.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.
