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.
I think I'm a great organizer. Not that I'm organized, but I'm a great organizer of other people.
You put faith in people sometimes that can't deliver for you. And those are mistakes and you have to... don't work with them again. It's pretty easy.
I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.
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.
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 like to make pictures about people who make a difference.
I should have had more faith in my talent. I think I would have gotten to achieve more, earlier, had I believed in myself. But I let other people take credit for my work.
We never forget about history, ... but we have to serve the story.
Movies might take five-six years, sometimes 10 years to produce. For television, when you have an idea, you put it to a network and within a week or so they have an answer.
We love process. We love going inside - to see how something works.
We don't live our lives the same way; we don't look at things the same way. We've changed the way we travel; we've changed just about everything.
Kids should know about this coach and these players. Because of them, they have the privilege to be able to play.
Look, I've made enough money that I never have to do another show, but I love what I do, and I'll keep doing it as long as I enjoy it.
