I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting.

When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn't keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.

I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I'd meet beautiful women in the rain.

I generally do things I'm proud to be in and generally I'm in things people like.

I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues.

I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.

Jerry Bruckheimer says that he makes films that he would want to see, and it seems that that coincides with what a lot of people want to see.
