There are things that people say that hurt my feelings or whatever, especially with social media right now. It can be the most amazing thing, and it can also be the most negative and detrimental thing.

I think you hear a lot of people say 'I support the troops' and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.

For years, I have been criticized for supporting the military because I have no military experience. It's one of the craziest complaints I've ever experienced in over 30 years as a radio talk show host.

Too much TV hurts movies.

Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

As long as I can make an audience feel something, I don't care whether it's a good thing or bad thing, just to feel something is important to me.

I think if people who are attacking me or against me, if they would just watch one of my films, they would - they may not agree with me politically on all the things I'm saying. But they will know at the end of the film that I love this country and that I have a heart. And they'll have a good laugh throughout the film.

I have learned that I will not pay any attention to anything people say about my movies, because people say things that are all over the place.

My movies just kind of sneak up on you. I don't have to worry too much about what everybody is going to say. Anyway, I really don't pay attention to what the world says about my movies. I just care about what my buddies think.
