I'm finished with destroying for a while. It's not like I'm running around saying, 'What else can I destroy?'

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.

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

There are shots that I had to walk away from because we had to get the movie in the theaters. There are some in "Independence Day" and "Godzilla," but lately I got smart. I would plan it so I had enough time [to get it right]. That just comes with experience.

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

Actually, when I did "10,000 B.C.," in the middle of production, I wanted to quit my job, because everything went wrong.

I'm only a stupid filmmaker.
