People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams.

Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.

Films and hotels have many aspects that are the same. For example, there is always a big vision, an idea.

Time is the lens through which dreams are captured.

Work on nothing less than epic scale

In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.

I have more of a vivid imagination than I have talent. I cook up ideas. It's just a characteristic.
