Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.
I don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
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.
I only make movies I want to go see.
We want to create these dramatic situations, whether they are real or not, to entertain audiences.
If you read a part that you want to play, and you already know you have actors you want to work with but it's not on the page, it's not going to be on the screen. So that is the most difficult thing to do for a producer, is to get a script that attracts this kind of talent.
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.
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.
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.
