Roland Emmerich is a very interesting individual. He is more erudite and well-read than most of the people I know.
Gavin O'Connor, I'd walk into a fire for that guy. He's a brilliant filmmaker and a passionate man.
David Ayer is one of the best directors I've ever worked with. He's a true man's man.
The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.
Alejandro Jodorowsky is one of the supreme nut jobs in movie history, and of course I mean that in the nicest way.
Jeff Kinney is tall and has a great smile, but don't be fooled, he's as slick as they come. A real player. And how he came up with a book that appeals to kids ages 8-13 baffles me. He's an unbelievably kind man with a great family.
Reed Morano is an amazing woman and one of the most extraordinary people I've had the chance to work with.
Robert Altman was such an incredible person to have the privilege to know and meet and have dinner with.
Aaron Spelling always had his finger on the pulse of pop culture, he knew what the public wanted to see. He was one of the most loyal men in this business and believed in me at a time in my career when no one else would.
