book ideas youngsters
I like the idea of being involved in pictures that can entertain the entire family and can stimulate youngsters into looking at picture books. There's nothing wrong with that.

At the time I agreed to do 'The Weather Man,' I was going through a divorce and I was trying to figure out how I could take a negative and turn it into a positive,

The Weather Man ... films with more serious themes get more attention.
As a father, that's what disturbs me most,

One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.'
cliffs everywhere nails pipes steel sticking unsafe ways
Alcatraz is an unsafe place to actually make a movie in many ways because there are cliffs and rotting corroding steel pipes everywhere and old nails sticking up.
