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.

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

Because you can't do anything halfway, you've got to go all the way in anything you do.

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.

We love to entertain audiences and this picture does that - it's romantic, it's funny, it's got a nice message and I think it's a gift to the audience to be able to enjoy this movie.

It's very difficult to release an X-rated movie.
