When you're a producer or director, there's so much sweat that goes into any given project.

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.

I saw something I could never forget. I saw lifetimes of acknowledgement, fear, wisdom, questioning, and understanding in a child's eye. It was the worst thing I would ever witness.

A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.

It is no use saying "we are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.

I think I would have had less tumult in my life if I hadn't grown up in my particular house.

Translating is a respectable, valuable, creative and worthwhile use of a human brain.

Mother told me always to follow the golden rule.And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel.So remember if you're untrueAngels up in heaven are looking at you.

Never follow somebody else's path; it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone... the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk, forcing the next person to find their own way.

Regular women carry pictures of their babies, their husbands, their summer houses. Fat ladies carry pictures of themselves at their skinniest.

Over the next four years, we will be bold. We will be willing to experiment. We will not fear failure.

I support good relations with other countries. A policy of détente will be a central issue for me.
