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

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

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'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

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

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.

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.
