My experience is that you can't possibly win against whatever the tidal wave is that's coming at you.

As a producer, I try to bring as many nice people as I can to insure that there's no screaming, there's no shouting, there's no bullying. The more of those kind of people that you can bring together, the better the experience everyone has on set.

I don't like the term 'ensemble.' It's bland to me.

My experiences with the older audience and, selectively, the people I hang out with or run into, they all want to see Arnold [Schwarzenegger] kick some ass.

What I keep searching for in movies, more and more, is the right gravity.
