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.
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.
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.
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.
In TV we've used something that I love... it's called process. I love process.
If I knew what makes a movie catch on then I'd make hit after hit.
You have to start at the very bottom and you've got to do every job. I did that so I could understand what everybody does. I didn't become this huge producer overnight. It took many, many years.
You can't be afraid of hard work or long hours. Sacrifice is important.
I can stand at the back of the theater and watch an audience laugh, cry, and be moved by what I do. I can entertain people around the world. It's nice when you can give someone that gift.
It's a tale of redemption. It's a tale of a girl who is going on a journey, who makes mistakes as most young people do... the credit card companies love sending you credit cards so you exceed your limit and they can charge you interest. And this is a girl who overcomes her problems and figures a way out of her financial crisis, and hopefully the world will do the same thing.
Sophie [Kinsella]'s writing just captivated me. We bought this eight years ago, before it became an international success and was only one book. Now there's five. So, we were very fortunate to latch onto a character who has since become an international success both as a novel and hopefully now as a movie.
