They were at the wrong place at the wrong time naturally they became heroes

I like racing. I love the speed and I'm a very kinetic person in terms of filmmaking. I love the movement of film more than anything else.

That had always been my purpose: to get people back in touch with what makes us so valuable as a human race.

I wanted to make a kids' film that would strengthen contemporary mythology.

I was a terrible student in high school and the thing that the auto accident did - and it happened just as I graduated, so I was at this sort of crossroads - but it made me apply myself more, because I realized more than anything else what a thin thread we hang on in life, and I really wanted to make something out of my life.

I would like to see our society mature, and become more rational and more knowledge-based, less emotion-based.

Football games are on TV, and it doesn't affect stadium attendance at all. It's the same with movies. People who really love movies and like to go out on a Saturday night will go to the movie theater.
