I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.

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.

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 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.

I think people feel starved of nice, glamorous entertainment. They want to see costumes and gaiety and a singer; old-fashioned entertainment - it won't die easily.

I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.

The makers of entertainment must try, in our field, to be honest and grown-up.

The game has kept faith with the public, maintaining its old admission price for nearly thirty years while other forms of entertainment have doubled and tripled in price. And it will probably never change.

I'm very lucky to work in so many different arenas of the entertainment industry and I do enjoy them all, but making music - original music - in the studio or live onstage is definitely my favorite thing to do.

The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.

It's important to remember that, first and foremost, if not only, this is entertainment. "The West Wing" isn't meant to be good for you.

No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet.

My brother Cody is 19. He wants to stay out of the limelight and become a lawyer. I want him to be an entertainment lawyer, so he can help me out!

Florida has tons of entertainment opportunities because Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are there.

Americas are, for a variety of reasons, the most adept at producing the kind of entertainment that delivers easy satisfactions.

In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family.

Let's stop playing with ourselves and get on with the entertainment, shall we?

I've been chased. I've been pushed. I've been screamed at. I've been verbally abused. I've been afraid for my safety. But I did it all in the name of entertainment.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

The standard entertainment industry reaction to Hollywood's box office slump reveals the same shallow, materialistic mindset that helped create the problem in the first place.
