You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.

I'm a big believer that it doesn't matter what you call your company, nobody ever notices.

I'll never be a good writer, and no chance of being a good actor.

I like the X-Men, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.

You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.
