I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.

I like doing movies with kids in them, and you're explaining things. They're teaching you and you're teaching them, and the audience can loop through that.

I don't do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.

I can think of films that I'm producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.

There are different reasons to make movies.

Right now, I have to admit, that I'm more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness.

It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it.
