You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.

In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family.

When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world.

Sunday, for me, is all about being home with the family with no plans.

The spy genre is something I loved.It also extends to the bad guy because I think, to me, what I love the most about the spy genre is when you have a great bad guy. What makes a great bad guy, to me, is the logic. What he's about has to make sense to me, that if I was in his shoes, yeah, right, that makes sense.

You have to do three things really well to make a successful film. You have to tell a compelling story that has a story that is unpredictable, that keeps people on the edge of their seat where they can't wait to see what happens next. You then populate that story with really memorable and appealing characters. And then, you put that story and those characters in a believable world, not realistic but believable for the story that you're telling.

A good part of my leadership skills is crafted from learning from experiences early in my career that were not positive experiences.
