For my money, I don't think there's been a better comedy than 'Kung Fu Hustle' in a lot of years. That movie just knocked me over.

I have certain beliefs about how people should treat employees and how companies should be run, but I was really surprised though this process to learn that those beliefs are actually good business.

As for movies, what's great about comedy is that if your movie gets laughs and makes money, you have freedom.

Everyone is sort of in their own little area counting lines and no one talks when film's not rolling. There's constantly actors coming to me back behind the monitor screaming at me, "Why did my line count drop?" It's a nasty tense environment.

Hollywood has to appeal to the broadest audience, and when it comes to most social and economic issues, America is progressive. Because of that, the messages that are in Hollywood movies tend to be, for instance, pro-environment.

If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.

Every time a congressman or pundit says its 'class warfare' to increase taxes on the wealthy, it's a massive lie.
