I think I'm a great organizer. Not that I'm organized, but I'm a great organizer of other people.
I think you've got to be honest with yourself at what you're good at. That's the hardest thing to do.
I think the best thing you can do when you go and see a movie is to bring somebody along who really enjoys the film with you. I think this is one of those movies... it wouldn't be their first choice. But once they're in there and they see the enjoyment that not only they're getting, but also their wife or their girlfriend then it makes for a much more pleasant evening after the movie!
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 don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
Although, I think you look back and you try to learn from your mistakes.
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.
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.
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.
I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.
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.
