A lot of directors don't want the pressure of a movie the size of Pearl Harbor. But I love it. I thrive on it.

There are things that I invented - the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy, for example, or the little wheelie guy, he's not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff - this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it.

I go out there to win. People don't care if you die in this business. The only way I get back is with success.

I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.

You'll hear people say now, 'Oh, I don't want to see something in 3-D. That's wrong, because what they've seen is 3-D done poorly.

I can be very reserved about things. My business side isn't shy. I can be like a general. But I've got a shy side. I'm also a lot deeper than people think, and a lot more sensitive. But I don't let people in too much.'

I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.
