Zitat des Tages von Brett Ratner:
When I do short films, I try to do something completely out of my comfort zone, out of my element.
I love that feeling of going into a packed theater.
I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.
I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.
You can't show a four-hour movie in a theater, really.
I'm not going to turn down an Oscar, but I'm not strategizing for one.
In this day and age, you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.
I'm a laugher and a lover of comedy.
Woody Allen is in his '70s and he's making movies, so I look forward to getting there.
I fear God and respect God and love God.
I hate the iPhone. I love the BlackBerry - BlackBerry wins in my opinion. The iPhone is a toy.
I learn more from the audience than I can from anybody else. Not from what they write on the scorecards, but how they respond to the movie while they're watching it - where they laugh and where they react.
I want to print books by people in the film industry.
Producing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job.
They say your childhood influences your tastes and interests, or your approach if you're an artist. So what you create, whatever you saw, whatever your childhood was like - it influences how you're going to end up.
People can criticise all day long, I think I've proven myself, I think I deliver. And I agree, box office does not mean a movie's good, but I feel like I'm making good movies and I'm delivering in box office.
I learn from every movie I do because on every movie I have a different experience.
I love movie directors. I don't care who it is.
Having love in your heart doesn't count for much if what comes out of your mouth is ugly and bigoted.
I love 'Guitar Hero,' and I think it's a part of pop culture.
I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.
I'm not tied to budgets. I'm tied to the story that I want to tell, and how much it's going to cost is up to whatever the economic situation of the studio is.
Movies are the biggest export in the world, the biggest American export. It influences people all over the world.
Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.
When I was 13, Eddie Murphy was to me what Chris Tucker was to 13-year-olds when I made 'Rush Hour.' And 'Rush Hour' really came out of the fact that I grew up watching 'Beverly Hills Cop' and '48 Hrs.'
