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

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.

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

I make movies based on gut.

You have to start at the very bottom and you've got to do every job. I did that so I could understand what everybody does. I didn't become this huge producer overnight. It took many, many years.

I think I'm a great organizer. Not that I'm organized, but I'm a great organizer of other people.

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.
