Quotes

"Idiots. Idiots. Did you see 'Red Dragon'? Did you see that? And you saw 'Family Man', which is totally different, a very emotional story. Then, you have two giant comedies. What are they thinking? This is a great filmmaker. Do you know how much experience this guy has? Let alone his new Jessica Simpson video? This guy knows what he's doing." - said against fans who expressed their dissatisfaction about Brett Ratner being the director of the X-Men 3 movie.
