Every time I make a movie I think that it’s going to be my last one, I think that no one is going to show up. I always have this sense that they’re all going to fail. I am scared to death.
Our military thought that they couldn’t get to Pearl Harbor, that it was too long a journey from Japan to get there, and they proved us wrong.
Although, I think you look back and you try to learn from your mistakes.
I can stand at the back of the theater and watch an audience laugh, cry, and be moved by what I do. I can entertain people around the world. It’s nice when you can give someone that gift.
And usually the studios they don’t want you to have credit for your movies because they want to take credit for the movies because if you get credit for your movies they’ve got to pay you more.
Dramatics are what keep you in the seats.
Definitely, it’s a fear of failure that drives me.
I don’t make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
I just don’t know what makes a movie catch on and other ones don’t.
I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.
I love taking you inside a world that you’re not apart of and showing how actually works.
There are a lot of movies that inspire me to do what I do.
The director’s who want to be innovative use the DVD as a tool to see what people have done in the past and you have other people who will actually take from better directors and that makes them better directors.
I still that that movie-goers like the experience of leaving their homes and going to have a communal experience, especially in comedies or interactive things where you can get an audience reaction to.
What I do is try to stay away from the hot subjects.
We need a very strong military to protect the freedoms we do have.
Yeah sure, I’d love to have all my movies on DVD.
We know as filmmakers where you draw the line.
I think it’s the source material. 27 Dresses was a famous book, and Devil Wears Prada was also a wonderful book, so it’s coming out of the novelists who are really creating these wonderful female characters that we want to see on the big screen.
The whole world has changed after September 11th.
