I was walking an average of about two and a half miles a day, which is still more than most Americans. Most Americans don't even walk that.

I believe in storytelling, not story-selling. I want people to believe the characters are real. So I'm a realist.

I think we had an incredible opportunity to capitalize on that right up to Libya. I think we've made a step toward something that might be a mistake. I personally believe Saddam Hussein and Ghadafi are not good guys by any judgement, and there are ways to deal with it beyond what we did. Once you decide to attack, it paints an ill-conceived picture.

The more we can be honest about ourselves as filmmakers, than the more we can be honest with people who see the films.

Seventy-five percent of Americans don't even have passports. We don't even think about traveling beyond our borders.

I don't think Muslims do hate America. I think that's what we hear and that's what we believe. I don't think that's true.

I had no idea that it was gonna take off the way it did. I thought we made a good movie.
