Our military thought that they couldn't get to Pearl Harbor, that it was too long a journey from Japan to get there, and they proved us wrong.

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.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

I just don't know what makes a movie catch on and other ones don't.

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

Well, I started years ago with Flashdance and we also did Coyote Ugly, so I have put my toe in the water before with romantic comedies. I love making them and I love making people laugh. That's a trademark that I don't think any producer would turn down.

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