From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on 'Jumper' was done 'Swingers'-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.
I'm really attracted to anti-heroes, and I'm a little bit of a troublemaker myself, and a little bit of a rule-breaker, and I like spies.
I was a troublemaker. For a long time, I didn't fit in.
When you have films like 'Bourne' that succeed, not only does it beget sequels, but it begets people taking chances.
I have a rebellious nature, and being told no is almost the surest way to get me to do something.
I think that I learned a studio system prefers a sort of professionalism from the director.
