And yes, it is harder to make movies because budgets are getting smaller, and the companies stocks are down. The only good news on the horizon is that box office has been up by something like 23% from last year, which is great for us. It's still the cheapest form of entertainment.

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

The director's who want to be innovative use the DVD as a tool to see what people have done in the past and you have other people who will actually take from better directors and that makes them better directors.

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.

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

If you have a crisis, whether on a ship or wherever, there are heroes who rise above it.

I make movies based on gut.
