My kids don't watch my movies. What I want to do is go home and hug my kids, talk to them and engage with them.

I wanted to stay on TV because I've got kids who are school-aged, so I get to see them most days as opposed to going away for movies months and months at a time.

Kids end up seeing my movies anyway but some of the mothers get mad at me so I figured I'd make one that I can't get yelled at for.

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say, I love his movies, I love his choices-because he loved them.

I have no hesitation doing children's movies. Zero. And I don't even have kids.

You have a schedule that you really have to stick to with TV and make sure that you are producing enough film for the network to edit through and air quickly.

My children haven't even seen most of my movies.

Whenever you have a tight schedule, you sort of have to film whatever you can that day.

People are losing jobs, people need to be entertained, and I want to make movies that parents and children can look forward to seeing, that can become a kind of family ritual.
