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

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.

Our military commanders have said over and over again that a timetable for withdrawal sends the wrong message to our troops, but more importantly to our enemy.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

The sanctity of our battlefields, monuments, and veterans institutions is of utmost importance to preserve military history and pay respect to those who fought.

We won't always have the strongest military.

The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in war itself, whether we win or lose.

All of us who are convinced that our military needs all the support the government and public will provide are pleased that he will have his chance to do just that.

Can you imagine what Bush would say if someone like Hugo Chavez asked him for a little piece of land to install a military base, and he only wanted to plant a Venezuelan flag there?

I visited the Chinese side last year. The Chinese are in a constant state of military readiness. They have all their nuclear weapons in the area, presumably trained on targets across the border.

War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.

The decision to go to war is the most important decision that I can make as a representative in Congress. As a veteran, I see any potential military action first through the eyes of the young men and women who volunteered to wear the uniform and would carry out such a mission.

Since far fewer people are recruited to serve in a voluntary military, the connection between America and its military is increasingly tenuous and less personal.

In the recent years there have been criticisms levelled against Japan suggesting that she should offer more military forces to the United Nations forces and thereby play a more active role in the keeping and restoration of peace in various parts of the world.

We know that the decisions we reach will have a profound impact on the communities hosting our military installations, and more importantly, on the people who bring those communities to life.

The military lead turbulent lives, but they are people like everybody else.

We ought to recognize that we have an offensive responsibility to take the war to the terrorists where they are. That responsibility has waned in the last year as military and intelligence resources were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be used in Iraq.

An overstretched military undermines homeland security and our ability to meet threats around the world.
