I think every good, entertaining movie should have a message. I really believe that, because if you do it without it, the film feels a little bit soulless.

I've said that "2012" was my favorite ensemble cast, because it was so evenly good.

A lot of stuff in Wikipedia is not true, and that goes for a lot of people. I sometimes think, "How can that happen?" But Wikipedia is maintained by people, and everybody can add stuff to it.

Everybody knows that the industrialized nations are the worst offenders.

In the first earthquake scene [ in "2012"], there was only a limo and a plane. That was it. There was nothing else there, so everything had to be created in the computer, and that's always very difficult.

I try to put in every one of my movies some sort of message. I don't want to overdo it, because I don't want people to get annoyed by it, but it's good to have a message.

I would say, when it comes to comedy, I think Matthew Broderick was great.
