I'm happy with my place in the firmament here. I like to produce movies and that's where I want to be.

Ever since Fahrenheit 9/11 , I think we've been seeing there's a real audience for movies with political agendas. I don't know how many people are showing up because they want to hear political messages, but they're certainly more open to hearing them.

The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever.

Well, I haven't really been able to shoot in California for a while. Little movies yeah, but the big movies we can't shoot there. It's just a shame that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't deliver on this level.

The idea of a youth-based society that you live in for a certain time and then you no longer live anymore is an interesting idea for a movie, but you need young people that people want to go see.

I like a set to be a happy place, where people can feel free to experiment.
