Last year when "Black Swan," "True Grit" and "King's Speech" all grossed over $100 million, it gave studios and independent financiers the confidence to make daring movies. You know, and not do the same old you-know-what.

You know, for years I used to read about myself. They'd say, 'He has a temper' or 'He's a bully' or something like that, and it always bothered me.

I'm a benevolent dictator.

I've had such a great track record in making a huge profit when the movies are smaller.

I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.

I'd never made a teen comedy in my life.

I don't know, I'll probably make the first superhero movie that bombs.
