I consider myself a student of Hollywood.

I'd like to think that the notion of inspiration will transcend cultural things that are going on. There's something classic about this movie that I'm hoping reaches kids.

I learned a lot about morality from fiction, from movies.

I love the idea of rectitude.

I see lots of cycles, for sure. There's the whole post-Star Wars era, but I don't think it's the whole story.

It's a good time to be making movies, despite the cynicism people have about Hollywood.

If it awakens in us as a whole how important that is - the theme of how conquest and ambition are meaningless without contribution - I think then as a society we're in better shape. I hope people are inspired to be the best.

These are classic, perennial ideals we are dealing with.

College on for sure... I'm scared to say it cause it sounds like a family movie, but if my kid was 7, 8, 9 I would take her to this quickly and gladly!

I'm into the idea of responsibility and edification and these things have found me and I have found them. I wanted to be in the movie and I made it known to Mike.
