You always want to challenge yourself and work with people you respect. You can't always go by genres, but it's always fun to challenge yourself.

I've spoken about this completely independent of this movie prior to ever being attached to this film that as a kid the first movie that I remember seeing that resonated with me was the Wizard of Oz. I think just visually the color, the spectrum of it and how fantastical it was and how much you wanted to live in that world, for a nine-year old was so magical and so grand so I have the greatest, fondest memories of it.

You can do a movie for Disney or not. People will still ask you inappropriate questions. So in order to answer it, do I feel like there's a difference in promoting it? Apparently not.

They still put you in a room with these people who apparently have no difference whether you're making a family driven show or otherwise. But I do realize it's very sad to me. This is the first film [Oz The Great] that I've done that's not R rated. It's a really weird connection.

I stand by every movie that I did. I don't regret any decision I made.

You can handle anything.

Always have a backup plan.
