Thinking back to those earlier days, I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies, and then when I was, I thought I was weak as a family member.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.

3D is quite a lot more advanced in animated movies for live-action movies we're just taking baby steps, we're just in the beginning.

I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.

I knew that there were black people in Africa, of course, unfortunately because of movies such as 'Tarzan.'

My family and our neighbors and friends thought of Africa and its Africans as extensions of the stereotyped characters that we saw in movies and on television in films such as 'Tarzan' and in programs such as 'Ramar of the Jungle' and 'Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.'

I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.

Movies make you immortal and ageless.
