I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.

I know that in order to be considered successful, you're supposed to do two or three movies a year. I only work once every year-and-a-half, sometimes two years. I have children to raise.

I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.

I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point.

I've made movies that we're very successful that we're a complete surprise, and I've made movies that I thought we're going to be very successful that, you know.

I've been in more than 20 movies. You just do the best you can and try to make a living.

There are so many factors that go into having a successful movie.. too many that you can't control.

Every movie that I've had to really knock down the door for has been an enormous success for me. Not just like a financial success but a real personal success.

See, I'm fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.

Obviously, I try to make the films work for an audience. That's the main point of making a film, and in retrospect, one can see that certain films, let's say Leaving Las Vegas, demonstrated its own success.
