I love film and I love the film business. And I don't think there's any better way, with my personality, than being a producer which is a little bit of a control freak.

I love the gangster genre, but how many gangster movies are there? If I get a good gangster movie script, I'll do it.

I don't like making a film and having the actors in character too much in magazines and on the net and everything else. Because you want to keep something back.

It's a business of relationships. I mean that's exactly what Hollywood is to me, and I'm lucky enough to work with the same people over and over again.

Every film takes on its own life. I find it very interesting to show an audience some part of history that maybe they don't know.

The key to the success of any producer is to have a great team around.

On an animated movie, I'm learning as I go. There are so many details in animation. Doing the voices was the easy-part. Doing live-action, you have to be on the set, every day.
