And then you didn't do another...

I don't know what you'd want to call it, sort of like a big spectacular studio film for a few years until the Charlie's Angels reboot.

And then you haven't gone back to that particular well since.

And I just wondered if you had thought to yourself, all right, I'm kind of done with those types of films for a while.

And then did you make a decision like with Charlie's Angels, I'm going to try again.

And that ended up not feeling right and you haven't done it since then.

The director of the Charlie's Angels.

most of the people who encounter this conversation will not have experience of what it's like to be on a movie set.

So when you refer to like the day-to-day of that sucks, like what does that mean?

What happens that you're like, this is not what I want to be doing?

And where I was going originally with that question was maybe like an overly literal interpretation of your use of the word greedy.

Oh, yeah.

Has there ever been an aspect of...

Well, it's hard to say no when somebody's offering you millions of dollars to do something.

You sort of answered my next question a little bit, but I'll ask it regardless, and maybe there's more to say.

But I was really thinking about what it means for an artist to be so young

like you were when you made the first Twilight film, and for that to go gangbusters and then to not really have to worry about money anymore?

Because I could imagine that being completely freeing.

I could also imagine that, you know, sometimes like having the wide open horizon is actually paralyzing, you know?

So how do you think that, or what did that change for you in terms of what you decided you wanted to do with the rest of your life?
