I've Never Wanted To Be

My Mother And I Definitely Got To A Point Where We Had To Have A Real Conversation And Talk Woman To Woman, Or Daughter To Mother, Friend To Friend - Just Off The Record, Clear The Air And Communicate. I Didn't Want To Drive My Mama Crazy, But At The Same Time, I Had To Do, I Had To Learn, I Had To Grow And She Understood That. She Knows Me Better Than Anyone Else On The Planet So I Tried To Think About That.

I Like To Service The Full Audience Of America, So I Try To Do Things That Are Just Real Artistic, Like When They Don't Have The Most Money, But It's A Great Piece Of Work. Then, There Are Big, Fun Comedies And Big Animated Movies For Kids. I Want To Do Things For My Nieces And Nephews. Ultimately, We're Trying To Deliver Something Entertaining To An Audience. As Long As It Can Entertain The Audience, And It Makes Me Or My Niece And Nephew Laugh Or Cry, Then I Think It's Good.

I Am Not One To Turn Down Macaroni And Cheese, Even Late At Night. I Love Italian Food. I Love Pasta... A Refrigerator Full Of Water And Gatorade? Honey, That's Just Not Gonna Happen.

I Always Loved All Kinds Of Music. I Would Watch Musicals A Lot As A Kid, On Tv, Watch The Fred Astaire Movies. I'd Watch 'the Wizard Of Oz.' I Was A Big Jerry Lewis Fan, And They'd Have These Big Bands And Someone Singing - Some Siren, Or Some Guy Singing Some Gorgeous Song. I Was Always Enamored Of That Style Of Music.

Business Is Fun. Controlling Your Own Destiny Is Fun. Creating An Idea And Turning It Into A Movie; Finding An Artist And Guiding Their Career And Bringing Them To Some Type Of Status - There's Joy In That.
