Then Gorky Park was my first big feature.

Comedy. I think that's something I'd really like to do.

It was great. I mean, it's a blast directing underwater stuff.

I felt that if there wasn't going to be a good opportunity, then I would just go back to second units which I love, keep working with great directors, keep learning and knowing that the opportunity would come when the time was right.

So then I started doing a lot of episodic TV, just car chases or helicopter chases or whatever.

Chris Columbus was really interesting to watch how he works with children.

You have to understand the tone of the movie, because if it's supposed to be funny, it can be funny violent like the Home Alone stuff, but you have to really understand the tone of what you're doing and make the action work for that and for the character.

Unless you go out and say what you stand for, other people will do it for you.
