I was making a lot of 8mm home movies, since I was twelve, making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.

I'm not really interested in making money.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

I don't really have a schedule of when I want to show my children my movies.
