“I've been on so many movies. Generally, I haven't gotten to be on the ground level. As of two years ago, in 'Dear John,' I got to really be on the ground floor. I wasn't a producer. I felt like I put the work in, and I did have a lot of sway on what got fixed, reshoots, so on and so forth. It felt really good.”

“I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.”

“Even if we die at 100, we're still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There's a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I'm not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.”

“Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.”

“I do love the films I've done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we're trying to make people laugh and I'm very proud of that.”

“Working on the 'Ice Age' movies, I'm really proud to be in them.”

“I've seen little pieces of 'Interview with a Vampire' when it was on TV, but I kind of always go yuck! I don't watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.”

“Obviously, I'm attracted to heavier movies.”

“More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services - from movies to agriculture to national defense.”
