There has been an awfully lot of reality programming in the last 10 years and natural-disaster movies. I do think there’s somewhat of a backlash. People do want to be taken to new worlds. They’re kind of tired of this one and want to go somewhere where they can let their imagination run free a little bit.

'Queer Eye' is not much different from a lot of reality programming -- the premise of the first date, marriage, rehabilitating somebody and then the tips for audience -- the spin is mainstreaming gay characters.

Broadband distribution of movies is no longer an idea - it's a reality.

Jeevan’s understanding of disaster preparedness was based entirely on action movies, but on the other hand, he’d seen a lot of action movies.

I loved 'Independence Day' and I've liked disaster movies since I was a kid. And to do one with those guys... why not? But I think 'Godzilla' with people who I didn't know anything about, I might have been worried, because it could have been who knows? But I read the script and thought it was really exciting and hey, I wasn't doing anything and it seemed like a very good thing to do.

I wanted real kids. I didn't want Hollywood kids doing weird accents.
