First of all, I never make a movie for awards consideration.

It's the golden age of French cinema again but it's because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.

I saw 'Tintin' in Europe - it is 'Indiana Jones' on steroids. Unbelievable. What a fantastic movie. Steven Spielberg, you rock the house. And working with those young English guys like Edgar Wright, and also Peter Jackson; what a great combination.

If we don't get gun-control laws in this country, we are full of beans. To have the National Rifle Association rule the United States is pathetic. And I agree with Mayor Michael Bloomberg: It's time to put up or shut up about gun control for both parties.

The secret of making movies is having the strongest possible script.

Over the years with movies, I've given directors notes.
