I can stand at the back of the theater and watch an audience laugh, cry, and be moved by what I do. I can entertain people around the world. It's nice when you can give someone that gift.

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

I don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.

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

You can't be afraid of hard work or long hours. Sacrifice is important.

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

Every day you make mistakes. And the key to making mistakes is first you have to make them, which means you're in the game. So don't be afraid of getting in the game.
