There's a few people who I've accumulated over the years who I really trust to show a first cut to and to be helpful rather than unhelpful.

There's something about the impact of a big screen that means something to me, even though I realize almost every film is fated to be seen for a year in theaters, and then forever after on television.

I take it as a sign of intimacy and friendship when you feel comfortable enough with someone to have a little rough and tumble.

I've reached a new level of closeness with a new friend when I can make a joke at their expense. That's one of the great joys of life for me.

You can shoot a film in New York without seeing the Empire State Building. Or Starbucks...although the latter is much less realistic.

I would love to take control of the entire universe and for five years you give every movie the same widespread distribution no matter what movie and see if there's a real discrepancy between people coming to see science-fiction films or superhero films. I seriously bet there would be no discernible difference.

The world doesn't grieve when you're grieving. The world goes on about its business. You're having a good day and I'm having a bad one and vice versa. And they could be very good and very bad at the same time. You multiply that by seven billion and you have one element of human experience.
