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.

What I can't figure out is why we're not making more R-rated movies, actually.

I always believe, with any kind of hero, that you want to believe that their decision-making is right. That ultimately, I can trust what that guy's sense of right and wrong will be. Even in a vigilante movie, where you are going against the law by definition, you still want to agree with the fact that your character is breaking the law.

The hardest thing, as a producer, is to find a director who does the picture for all the right reasons, and not just because they know it's successful or that they can do a good job, but in their bones, they love that genre.

Everybody has a background. Everybody has a past. Not everybody's the same person all the way through.

If the studio wants to spend money on making your movie better, let them.
