The Fighter's David O. Russell on Breaking Out of Director Jail: 'I Don't Need to Get Burned Twice'

As the director told MSN Movies, he's well aware that years of bad behavior landed him in movie jail. And now that The Fighter has put him back in the industry's good graces with a Best Director Oscar nod as the cherry on top, Russell's all about making nice.
