“Alan Rickman had to drop into a blue screen stretched over a bag. It might have been 30 feet, which is plenty scary. You’d break your back, especially if you were untrained, but this is the thing about it: What you see on his face when he lets go is real fear. It’s one of the greatest shots ever.”

“Die Hard is basically a Shakespearean comedy. I never said “Shakespearean comedy” because that would have scared the fucking pants off of studio guys, but that was what I had in mind. A Midsummer’s Night Dream literally is a festival night when some weird thing happens and all the princes become asses and all the asses become princes. In the morning, the true lovers are united, and everybody returns to their regular lives and feels better for having this event where the world got turned upside down. I wanted to use that as the guiding tone. BEAU”

“When I got there, David was buried. He was lost in the ensemble cast. He was just another player. My job was to prune the staff, prune the on-camera people so that David would shine. He was the star, and when I got there, he wasn’t. He was feeding and servicing a cast of characters. It was more like SCTV than it was The David Letterman Show.”
