“I think the most important CEO task is defining the course that the business will take over the next five or so years. You have to have the ability to see what the business environment might be like a long way out, not just over the coming months. You need to be able to both set a broad direction, and also to take particular decisions along the way that make that broad direction unfold correctly.”
“One's doing well if age improves even slightly one's capacity to hold on to that vital truism: "This too shall pass.”
“Humanity is good. Some people are terrible and broken, but humanity is good. I believe that.”
“And for me, I guess the person who I tell everything that I'm going through is you. The fans.”
“A lot of my early pictures are, I think, quite funny. And these days I tend to look for comedy more and more.”
“Be assured, he is not an ordinary man.”
“Being producer you're still going to have to sell somebody who's going to give you the money on the idea and everything like that. But it does give you a little bit more control if you're thinking in that creative process; it gives you more control to tell the story you want to tell rather than sort of just reading a script that somebody else wrote and says, "Yes, please, you can hire me for this job." So it's a little bit more hands-on, a little bit more closer to the heart.”
