I think you don't do work for controversy alone, and whenever you do new work which people don't understand and they say it is done to create controversy.

My intention... isn't to create controversy.

Even if there's controversy, I'm going to make the decision, and people are going to be happy in one instance and unhappy in the next. But that's the job I've been given and the job I'm going to embrace.

There's always opposition when you do something big. I do many things that are controversial. When people see it, they love it!

If you get involved in a controversy, then that becomes the mesmerizing event that people remember you by.

I don't like controversy.

I like the idea that my audience doesn't see what I do as controversial.

People like controversy because that's what sells.

I don't shy from controversy. I'm telling stories, and I'll tell whatever story seems like it wants to be told.
