This is like no pressure. It's so relaxed, and everyone is, like they say, hanging loose. I mean Cannes is just a zoo, it's like a circus. You're just running around like a maniac.
I was also a congressman. I had decided to run for office and had become a congressman with Queen Latifah.
I'm always running around trying to raise money to make the films. Fortunately, I've been able to do that, but if I can't, at this point, it's not like I wanted to spend a lot of time putting together, you know, you spend a year of your life on something, you go, "What the hell am I doing that for?"
Women are more in touch with their feelings, they're more emotionally developed, they know what's important in life, and the men run around like idiots trying to figure that out until they meet a woman that can show them what's important.

I don't think you should necessarily listen to a celebrity just because he is one. But if you can marshal your celebrity and really steep yourself in whatever issue you're trying to promote, it can actually move the ball forward, and we've done that.
I gotta tell you, I've never seen anybody with such grace under fire as Jennifer showed. She was going through the worst of all of this during (production) and most people didn't know it.
I gotta tell you I have never seen anybody with such grace under fire as Jennifer was. I mean I have such respect for her. I never saw somebody exhibiting the kind of strength that she had. There were times when what she was going through applied in scenes and she would allow that to happen, but for the most part, you have to separate those things and do your work, and so she was extraordinary.
She was going through the worst of all of this during the making of the film and most people didn't know that.
You have to give people the pleasure of giving you.
To me, acting is like a party. It's like a fun thing to do. You don't have to worry. You don't have to agonize about anything.
