You put faith in people sometimes that can't deliver for you. And those are mistakes and you have to... don't work with them again. It's pretty easy.

I like to make pictures about people who make a difference.

I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.

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

Any time you can create something that gets to a large audience is fantastic. And television still gets you to a huge audience.

If you read a part that you want to play, and you already know you have actors you want to work with but it's not on the page, it's not going to be on the screen. So that is the most difficult thing to do for a producer, is to get a script that attracts this kind of talent.

I still that that movie-goers like the experience of leaving their homes and going to have a communal experience, especially in comedies or interactive things where you can get an audience reaction to.
