You know, often films that are deemed positive, nobody wants to see them.

When I want to support a film starring actors I like, I purchase several tickets at the box office - even if I can't stay for the movie.

I don't want to just sell out shows to young girls who like my movie franchise. I want to sell tickets because people respect me.

Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there's none of that mystique, and so there's less of a reason to buy a ticket.

We all do films believing in them completely, but sometimes, the audiences like what we like, and other times, they don't.

I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don't want to see female-driven movies couldn't be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies.

Filmmaking is a real democracy - it's up to the audience to vote with their tickets.

I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.

You have to understand that you are not making the film for yourself; you're making it for the audience. If I am asking my audiences to buy tickets, I owe them the worth of their money, and I owe them entertainment.
