I've spent enough time with soldiers to know that once they get to know you and they loosen up and become themselves, they are some of the biggest hams and most charismatic, cocky, fun, humorous guys I've ever met.
I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think.
I had great luck with Tim McGraw twice in 'Friday Night Lights' and 'The Kingdom.' I love finding off-beat casting and finding someone you know in one way and you reinvent them in another way. I like doing that as a director.
I believe that anything in this world is fair game for a creative exercise.
People know I love to shoot action and that I'm not afraid of emotion.
