The whole world has changed after September 11th.
Jerry Bruckheimer
I think it's the source material. 27 Dresses was a famous book, and Devil Wears Prada was also a wonderful book, so it's coming out of the novelists who are really creating these wonderful female characters that we want to see on the big screen.

I think I'm a great organizer. Not that I'm organized, but I'm a great organizer of other people.

If you read a part that you want to play, and you already know you have actors you want to work with but it's not on the page, it's not going to be on the screen. So that is the most difficult thing to do for a producer, is to get a script that attracts this kind of talent.
Jerry Bruckheimer
Definitely, it's a fear of failure that drives me.

Sophie [Kinsella]'s writing just captivated me. We bought this eight years ago, before it became an international success and was only one book. Now there's five. So, we were very fortunate to latch onto a character who has since become an international success both as a novel and hopefully now as a movie.

And yes, it is harder to make movies because budgets are getting smaller, and the companies stocks are down. The only good news on the horizon is that box office has been up by something like 23% from last year, which is great for us. It's still the cheapest form of entertainment.
Jerry Bruckheimer
Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.
Jerry Bruckheimer
Although, I think you look back and you try to learn from your mistakes.
Jerry Bruckheimer
I mean if you put all of your eggs in one basket, boy, and that thing blows up you've got a real problem.
Jerry Bruckheimer
I think you've got to be honest with yourself at what you're good at. That's the hardest thing to do.
Jerry Bruckheimer
Casting is so important, with any film you do. You have to get actors that you believe will fulfill the promise of the characters that are on the page.
Jerry Bruckheimer
I love entertaining people and this is entertainment.
Jerry Bruckheimer
I just don't know what makes a movie catch on and other ones don't.

A psychology degree doesn't get you very far.

If you live in a world of faith, this reaffirms your faith.
