The whole process of making movies and writing screenplays is visceral and intuitive.

Politics is very interesting and always leads to conflict.

I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It's a great movie.

If I have to, I'll go and direct theater and talk till the cows come home.

I spend a lot of my time just developing material; or the company does. That material can come from a book, can come from a newspaper, can come from a discussion and sometimes it can come from a script that got passed over and is floating around.

A good year for me is when me and my family are in good health. I'm just lucky to have good years doing something I like to do.

Usually, when special effects get in the way, it's because the story isn't strong enough. If you don't start with a strong screenplay, it's easy to fall back on special effects, thinking it's going to carry you. But it never works. It's just tiresome.
