I'm a student of cinema in general, not just of one particular genre. So it was very important to me and to my soul to go out and do something different.

'Fast and Furious' is the only franchise that I've directed that I did not create from scratch. So it definitely was an eye-opening experience for me coming to that world. I had to be respectful of the roles that had been established by the filmmakers before me, and I was cool with that.

Up until 'Fast and Furious 7,' every movie I've made has been a film that I've created, franchises that I've created.
