And usually the studios they don't want you to have credit for your movies because they want to take credit for the movies because if you get credit for your movies they've got to pay you more.

I still that that movie-goers like the experience of leaving their homes and going to have a communal experience, especially in comedies or interactive things where you can get an audience reaction to.

But once we got them on its feet then they run themselves, unless there's corrections you have to make.

Definitely, it's a fear of failure that drives me.

Well, I don't look back and celebrate. I just always worry about the next one.

I only make movies I want to go see.

We want to create these dramatic situations, whether they are real or not, to entertain audiences.

The whole world has changed after September 11th.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

Dramatics are what keep you in the seats.

If I knew what makes a movie catch on then I'd make hit after hit.

In TV we've used something that I love... it's called process. I love process.

I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.

Because you can't do anything halfway, you've got to go all the way in anything you do.

What I do is try to stay away from the hot subjects.

Our military thought that they couldn't get to Pearl Harbor, that it was too long a journey from Japan to get there, and they proved us wrong.

If you have a crisis, whether on a ship or wherever, there are heroes who rise above it.

A lot of it had to do with when it's released and what's out in the marketplace, what's its competition.

We need a very strong military to protect the freedoms we do have.

Yeah sure, I'd love to have all my movies on DVD.

I just don't know what makes a movie catch on and other ones don't.

It's very difficult to release an X-rated movie.

I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.

Although, I think you look back and you try to learn from your mistakes.

We know as filmmakers where you draw the line.

I like to make pictures about people who make a difference.

The director's who want to be innovative use the DVD as a tool to see what people have done in the past and you have other people who will actually take from better directors and that makes them better directors.

I make movies based on gut.

I mean if you put all of your eggs in one basket, boy, and that thing blows up you've got a real problem.

I don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.

There are a lot of movies that inspire me to do what I do.

I love taking you inside a world that you're not apart of and showing how actually works.

Men are often capable of greater things than they perform - They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.

What the F.D.I.C. does is to put the full faith and credit of the United States government behind every savings account in the nation, up to a limit that has changed over the years and stands now at $100,000.

Over and over again, financial experts and wonkish talking heads endeavor to explain these mysterious, 'toxic' financial instruments to us lay folk. Over and over, they ignobly fail, because we all know that no one understands credit default obligations and derivatives, except perhaps Mr. Buffett and the computers who created them.

Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talks of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.

All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.

When you take a look at the problems our country is facing, debt is No. 1. The math is downright scary and the credit markets aren't going to keep on giving us cheap rates.

It's just that back then we didn't know that was considered being a coproducer. I would sit on the side and say what I wanted musically, but at the time we thought if you aren't the one playing it, you don't get the credit. Now you'll start seeing my name listed as producer.

Money is a poor man's credit card.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

You can always make a film somehow. You can beg, borrow, steal the equipment, use credit cards, use your friends' goodwill, wheedle your way into this or that situation. The real problem is, how do you get people to see it once it is made?

No one ever taught me and I can't teach anyone. If you can't explain it, how can you take credit for it?

A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feeling that spots are rather a credit.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.

It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue, but because they are refused credit.

When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

Once a nation parts with the control of its credit, it matters not who makes the laws.
