Sometimes you do things for personal reasons. I made a very personal movie in We Are Marshall. I was afraid of flying, for a long time, and that's a movie about a plane crash.

I love different kinds of movies, and I love different kinds of people. That's the spice of life.

For me, casting is critical. It's nice that social media and the passionate fans really corroborated choices and embraced kids to be characters.

It's always fun watching new actors and new voices come out.

Sometimes you do things that are fundamentally built to touch the world, and you feel good when you're successful doing it, and you're disappeared when the world fails to respond, which also happens.

I don't really think about film or television or going directly to the internet. I just think about doing something that people are going to get excited about.

It's really fun to create something that touches the world.

If you look at Hollywood today, compared to five years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago or 30 years ago, the change from moment to moment has always been extraordinary. It never stops moving.

As a filmmaker, I've had films that over-achieved and I've had films that under-achieved. You always go in trying to do your very best.

When you're a kid going on being an adult, everything radiates so deeply and resonates so passionately, and I like the opportunity to tell those stories.

When you're an actor, you show up and it's wonderful because you're in the world of make-believe.

Be passionate about creating a life that is exciting and fun, one that will help you reach your ultimate potential.

A cat is a cat.

This is a matter of Congress authorizes spending. They order me to spend.

THE British are brave people. They can face anything, except reality.

The pure and benign light of revelation has had a meliorating influence on mankind.

Whenever you want to see me, always look at the sunset; I will be there.

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.

I like the obvious statement, although some people might wish to think they aren't there, that they will go away with time.

Some opportunities are a calling. Others are a distraction. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Fear and its accompanying emotional reactions have become part of the public mindset. Such reactions, while often legitimate, are also being exploited with increasing frequency for political ends.
