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.

I'm really a one-man band.

Producing, for me anyway, it's coming up with material. It's sitting down with you know the likes of Martin Scorsese, Johnny Depp, Michael Mann and talking about a movie and really creating something from nothing.

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.

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.

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

I have created the life that I live... therefore I can create the life that I want.
