I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.
Copy Quote View & ShareI believe that movies are fast becoming antique and dinosauric as a medium. Film is a medium for the over-40s and television has gone the same way. If you're going to look towards the new generation, then of course you're going to have to be a lot more random, spontaneous, irreverent and provocative with your programming.

Copy Quote View & ShareI like to go out, but sometimes it's nice to stay cozy at home, watching movies or TV, especially early in the week.
Copy Quote View & ShareI've known Ben Stiller for a minute. One of my first movies was 'Along Came Polly.'
Copy Quote View & ShareI had been around Bruce Willis for two straight movies, so I saw the way the paparazzi follows him and the way the public is with him. He's a mega-star over in Europe.
Copy Quote View & ShareWhen I was in high school, there was 'Superbad' and 'The Girl Next Door' and 'Wedding Crashers' and all these great movies.

Copy Quote View & ShareYou know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.
Copy Quote View & ShareMovies don't make people act a fool. People act a fool because they want to act a fool.
Copy Quote View & ShareI've always really loved cinematography and glamorous old Hollywood movies and they go hand in hand.

Copy Quote View & ShareMovies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.
Copy Quote View & SharePeople called '28 Days' and '28 Weeks' zombie movies, and they're not! It's some sort of virus; they're not dead.
