Other times you can get showy for three minutes and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he is in charge of it.
I respect newspapers but the reality is that magazine 'photojournalism' is finished. They want illustrations Photoshopped pictures of movie stars.
Larry Kasdan has made some of my favorite movies of all time so just to be working with him was a pleasure. Now that I have I not only respect his work but I just love and respect him as a person.
I work on a TV show I love I have the opportunity to do movies with actors I respect and I'm in love with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with who pushes me and excites me.
My father was an inspiration to me I made a few movies with him and I loved working with him. Everything about him - his whole approach to work as well as his love enthusiasm and respect for it and other people in the business - was inspiring. I was very lucky to have him as a role model.
I said 'Brian no one is going to respect me as a mother after this.' He said 'oh no yes they will this is a movie don't worry about it.' But they're not.
I'm pretty upfront about my love and admiration for the military. One of the perks of making movies is that you get to sort of follow your own passions and I believe quite passionately that we don't pay enough attention and respect to our veterans. Not just our wounded veterans but all veterans.
Hopefully this movie will help people understand that if a child is never given the tools to know how to love others and love and respect themselves this is what happens.
We tried to approach this as though there's never been a Superman movie before but at the same time respecting the canon and mythology. There are the pillars that you have to respect and I'm not about to break them. But it is fun for me to bend them and mess with them.
If any movie people are watching this show please for me have some respect. You wanna sell some tickets act like you know what you're talking about.
