As a filmmaker you have to keep asking yourself the question are we really going to impress them [audience] either by the wow factor, the intelligence factor, the I didn't see that coming factor?

I used to do a stunt in almost every movie. When I became an executive, all the insurance guys freaked out.

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.

I think that running a studio gave me an appetite for making a lot of different kinds of movies and it's given me the opportunity to do that.

One of the things that's driving films in a particular direction is that the after market value of them is dropping really fast and in many segments of it, not just DVDs. Pay television is dropping.

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

It's so hard to find a director who, when you look at their body of work, you like everything.
