I was a voracious reader and the library fed my curiosity, imagination and my soul. I read by the shelf - biographies, fantasy - all and everything fed my dreams. Then as an adult whenever I would go on location the first thing we would do as a family is sign up at the closest library.

I didn't want to be one of those kids who sees Our Lady of Fatima.

You just can never count on a formula, on a movie that you think is going to be a big hit, and that's why you do it.

You just keep your fingers crossed.
