Probably my favorite piece of music, as an album taken as a whole, is Bruce Springsteen's 'Greetings from Asbury Park.' I just think it's incredibly pure. It's a sound that sort of broke new ground, and I think it paved the way for a hundred people that sound very similar. Shane Black albumasburybreak share on social
I hate 'The Professional.' It's one of the worst action/adventure movies ever made. Shane Black actionadventurebad Change image and share on social
I think about the audience in the sense that I serve as my own audience. I have to please myself the way, if I saw the movie in a theater, I would be pleased. Do I think about catering to an audience? No. Shane Black audiencecatermovie share on social
I do think the challenge, in a way for me, is to write a narrative film and when you finish watching it you feel like it's a collage. You tell the narrative, you tell the story, but you feel like you've created this tapestry. But it also has a shape, a story. Shane Black challengecollagecreate share on social

I always have humour in my action movies. I think characters that make jokes under fire are more real. It somehow helps put you in their shoes. Shane Black actioncharacterfire Change image and share on social
An action film can have too much action; picture an equaliser on a stereo, with all the knobs pegged at 10. It becomes a cacophony and is, ultimately, quite boring. Shane Black actionborecacophony Change image and share on social
Any time anyone fires bullets in an action movie that don't hit the target it immediately undermines the movie. Shane Black actionbulletfire Change image and share on social
I think it's very admirable, in a superhero movie, to be able to take a few risks. Shane Black admirablemovierisk Change image and share on social
I don't mind women who want to act. That's fine. It's odd that men want to act, in that there's still a degree of vanity associated with it. Shane Black actdegreefine Change image and share on social
