I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.

I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.

When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn't go where you want it to go. It's a lot of pressure.

With every action oriented or adventure film, there's going to be a moment when every actor becomes a stuntman and every stuntman becomes an actor. You try to do as much of it as you can, but inevitably the studio wants you to finish the movie. So you've got to slow down and you're really got to defer to your team to make sure you do.

I believe that everybody has the right to believe what they want to believe and to knock somebody's faith and religion is foolish, whatever it may be - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism.

All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.

Everything we do impacts someone else's life.
