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.
They know what the company does. They know what a good idea for a movie or a show is. And they understand the kinds of things that we do.
The fact that we're here and we believe the infrastructure is ... not going to detain us in any way in making the movie means that a lot of films will come back here.
I think all of us like to do things to the best of our ability and it has nothing to do with competition factor, it has to do with quality.
In TV we've used something that I love... it's called process. I love process.
If you had told me six years ago I would have the biggest show on television I would have said you're out of your mind.
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.
