I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.

I definitely went through my magic phase. I think all little boys do at some point or another - they get fascinated by magic tricks.

I think I jump around more when I'm alone.

I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.

I always say, "Well if you think it's over the top, then tell me where the top is first. I don't think anyone can, but if you can tell me where the top is, then I'll tell you whether or not I'm over it."

I would love to work with Tim Burton. I think we would be very good together.

I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.

And what I like about it is it makes me happy and I think it makes a lot of people happy to go to the movies and to not think about the problems of the day or the problems of tomorrow or the yesterday and just go on for the ride and have the fun of losing oneself in a fantasy.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.
