I'm only a stupid filmmaker.

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.

It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.

When it comes to action, I'd say Mel Gibson and Will [Smith] were great.

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.

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.
