But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen.

Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.

It's something that was very interesting to me to be a part of and all of them again because of the relationship. Some of the superhero movies are better than others.

I had a great time making the last movie 'Eclipse.' We shot my back-story stuff from the 1930's. But I was waiting for 'Breaking Dawn' because I love the relationship Rosalie has with Jacob and the rest of her family and Bella. She also provides comic relief.

Filming 'Eclipse' - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it's the height of the love triangle. 'Twilight' develops Edward and Bella's relationship 'New Moon' develops Jacob and Bella's and in 'Eclipse ' the three of them are physically together.

When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship you just kind of watch that constantly.

Our first scene is sort of a reunion between the X-Men characters which establishes everyone's relationship to one another sort of like a recap for all those who have forgotten since the last movie.

I can't cultivate a relationship with my child if it's between takes. I tried that on a movie and realized 'This is not going to work.' It will work some of the year but not 12 months a year.

Most people get their politics obviously from TV shows about senators or movies about them or... all the day-to-day press and the talk shows.

There was a widespread indignation in the American media. They were saying 'How can you make a movie during an election that's about politics? What are you doing? Are you trying to influence people's lives?' To which my response was 'Well I hope so.'
