I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.

I’m a hypochondriac. Before I go all the way, I send the girl to the doctor and check them for everything. My doctor has a test to tell if you’re going to catch something in the future even.

I learn more from the audience than I can from anybody else. Not from what they write on the scorecards, but how they respond to the movie while they're watching it - where they laugh and where they react.

I got a Super 8 camera when I was eight years old, and I just wanted to tell stories - I love telling stories.

Rehearsal? What’s that? Rehearsal’s for fags. Rehearsal. Not much.

I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.

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.
