Doug Liman

To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.

My films are very rooted in specific people's point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters.

When I was shooting 'The Bourne Identity,' I had a mantra: 'How come you never see James Bond pay a phone bill?' It sounds trite, but it became the foundation of that franchise.

I love Hindi films.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
