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

I'm trying to be a little bit more mature about my choices and think about what I want to direct next, instead of just jumping into a movie 'cause I want to do it.

Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.

I want to print books by people in the film industry.

My mom had me when she was 16, and I was an only child, which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn't miss that my father wasn't around.

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

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