I am excited when I get a movie and I get to move somewhere for a certain amount of time. But I am a Cali girl.

I want to work for a long, long time and keep growing in my work, and if I am very lucky and very blessed, maybe somewhere along the line there will be one movie in there that becomes a classic.

I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.

Actually, I went from doing a lot of movies early on in my career, then to doing TV, and I don't know whether we'll get back to some movies or not.

I'm a family man, I have kids, and I go to the movies. And I'm just going to make the kind of movie I want to see.

I plan on staying at Alabama for the rest of my career. I guarantee that I'll be here for you through it all, regardless of what happens.

I grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri, and I just loved film. My folks would take us to the drive-in on summer nights, and we'd sit on the hood of the car. I just had this profound love for storytelling.

Movies have been my way to get out of my backyard. I'm trying to let people know that movies change people's lives.

I can only hope that my future movies will do well.
