I'm not tied to budgets. I'm tied to the story that I want to tell, and how much it's going to cost is up to whatever the economic situation of the studio is.
I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.
When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.
Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body.
Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.
Do I have a small movie in me? Yeah, probably, when I'm 60. But I'm not Hal Ashby, I'm not Roman Polanski. I'm true to myself. Whether you like it or not.
