There are a lot of movies that inspire me to do what I do.

I mean if you put all of your eggs in one basket, boy, and that thing blows up you've got a real problem.

Although, I think you look back and you try to learn from your mistakes.

Screenplays are the hardest thing to try to get right. They look so simple when they work, but they really destroy your brain cells trying to get them there.

When I was a kid I started a baseball team. I was a terrible player, but I put together a group of neighborhood kids. I started a hockey team. I put the kids together and got a sponsor. So I can always kind of organize people and get things done.

We hope that audiences around the world embrace the picture in the same way they have the books and that hopefully Disney will allow us make another one.

It's a tale of redemption. It's a tale of a girl who is going on a journey, who makes mistakes as most young people do... the credit card companies love sending you credit cards so you exceed your limit and they can charge you interest. And this is a girl who overcomes her problems and figures a way out of her financial crisis, and hopefully the world will do the same thing.
