There are many more good stories about Jaye Davidson.

I'm doing a much smaller movie. It's set in Germany and it's a totally different subject matter. I'm trying to break it up.

When we shot "Stargate," he [ Jaye Davidson] came up to me at one point and said, "I don't like shooting movies," and I said, "Why?" "Too many people stare at me." I said, "Then you're totally in the wrong business."

The President of the United States has super star status. He's not a normal person, because he's protected like no other person in the world and if this man's life is in danger, the whole world is kind of in peril in a way, because the leader of the free world could fall into the hands of terrorists.

If you want to assemble the same people, then you have a big problem.

It's still the White House exploding [in "Independence Day"]. It was just so provocative, and no one had ever done it before. I remember when we shot it, how everyone was excited.

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.
