A family film is a very particular and explicit form. Family films typically include adult principles that are moral, but they should be as intelligent, funny, and intriguing as any other film.

When you go to the movies with your whole family, it's a different experience. For some reason, it's something that you're all doing together and you take away something special in that.

The film industry is a lovely family and I respect it.

That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.

When a family film is done well, there's a character that every member of the audience can relate to. I want to be one of those guys.

Truly great actors carry their characters in silence with them. They communicate without words the relationships that predate the movie.

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.

I think if you look at the themes that are presented in the film, some are inherently social, and I think that any film which deals with the family is dealing with the smallest social unit in our society - and in a sense it is a question of scope.

The film depends on the audience's belief in this relationship.

If a film is suitable for family viewing, it should remain so, and if a film has some adult content, it should remain so, and these genres should never be mixed and spoil the vision of the story teller.
