I'm happy with the effort they gave. We learned and that's what we came out to do.

Last year, I co-sponsored the Highlands Conservation Act and in a bipartisan effort we passed the bill through Congress.

You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.

It's an effort to concentrate our strength, on what we do best, and to get away what we don't do as well.
