Would it be nice to win a film award one day? Yes. But the critics are going to have to wait till I'm ready. Right now, my gift is making big movies that audiences want to see.

Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world.

You've got to think about how to do things for the right price. You have to shoot in different places to be creative and get tax rebates.

Producing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job.

Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world. Music and movies. That's what's exciting about what we do, the fact that it's so global. It brings people together. People don't have to understand the language to laugh at actors. They're going to laugh even though they don't understand what they're saying. Cause they're seeing it.

I'm constantly being visually stimulated.
