I've never had that fear of going against the grain.

When I see my children, and when I see the people who value me, I know how lucky I am.

It's never bothered me to work hard. I've probably worked on some of the longest schedules in movie history.

Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life.

I think that you try to raise the bar on whatever you do because you know, in this day of having to deal with a lot of reality TV, people say that scripted programming is dying, so you have to try to create something that can live in people's minds, long after they see it.

I don't go against the grain because I'm a contrary person.

When you start searching for your name, you might be thrilled with what a lot of people say and it just takes one person. And it can hurt your feelings, but I have been aware of the fan bases and stuff like that and realize how deeply involved they are.
