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.
There are a lot of movies that inspire me to do what I do.
I love taking you inside a world that you're not apart of and showing how actually works.
We love to entertain audiences and this picture does that - it's romantic, it's funny, it's got a nice message and I think it's a gift to the audience to be able to enjoy this movie.
I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.
I just don't know what makes a movie catch on and other ones don't.
I don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
Definitely, it's a fear of failure that drives me.
Dramatics are what keep you in the seats.
Although, I think you look back and you try to learn from your mistakes.
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.
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.
Well, I started years ago with Flashdance and we also did Coyote Ugly, so I have put my toe in the water before with romantic comedies. I love making them and I love making people laugh. That's a trademark that I don't think any producer would turn down.
A lot of it had to do with when it's released and what's out in the marketplace, what's its competition.
