When we talk about Oscars, it's almost as a symbol of excellence, and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol.

Margaret Thatcher made tough decisions. She put people out of work and she stood up to labor unions and she did a lot of things that I did not like.

I... grew up in politics and I used to work for the Democratic Party.

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.

I hope to continue my friendship with France and its filmmakers for many years to come.

People love a true story and especially a true story where two people from opposite worlds come together.

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