I'm very blessed and fortunate that people want to go see my movies.
I'm used to my films having little effect on making the world a better place.
I'm the kind of person that believes there's a part of your voting that has to be purely on principle, and there's a part that has to be on strategy.
I'm not a pundit. I'm not an analyst.
I'm not a proselytizer. I was raised Catholic. I am a Catholic.
I'm not a big believer in our copyright laws; I find them way too restrictive.
I'm from the Midwest, and guys like me don't go on diets. We don't do well on spinning classes.
I'm caught up probably just as much in the consumer culture as the next person.
I'm actually a fairly conservative person. I live a very conservative lifestyle.
I've never supported this concept of going after Napster. I think the rock bands who fought this were wrong.
If there ever is a struggle, making a good movie will always supersede the need to be noble.
If we didn't have Social Security, our seniors would live mostly in poverty. You'd have another 18 million people in poverty.
Most liberals I know were for invading Afghanistan right after 9/11.
Librarians in America do something like a couple of billion dollars worth of book business every year.
