We would just go out and line up a bunch of cans and shoot with rifles, handguns and at times, submachine guns... When I was a kid it was a controlled atmosphere, we weren't shooting at humans... we were shooting at cans and bottles mostly. I will most certainly take my kids out for target practice.

Me and music. Music was always my first love. It was my first love for sure. And still is a huge part of my life.

No one wants to go out mid-sentence.

Every filmmaker's different, every filmmaker has a different approach.

We don't always cry because we are weak, sometimes we cry because we have been strong, brave and courageous for way too long.

One thing that's been a great, uplifting experience through all this is, since the first "Pirates" [movie], the people who've gone to see the films, the audience members. You meet people on the street - whether they're 5, 25, 65 or 85 - they've all had the same experience, and they've all enjoyed it. So that's what keeps me moving forward in this crazy process.

Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can't.
