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 was, it was very high. Especially with international (box office), we did something that I didn't think this movie ["2012"] would do. I was very happy.

["2012"] it was really more about the subject matter, and to do a modern retelling of Noah's Ark, a flood story.

I've had the pleasure to work with a lot of very great actors. And they're too different to say who's the best.

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

There's a rule in Hollywood: stay away from water and stay away from snow, and I had both.
