You Can't Be Afraid Of Hard Work

When I Was A Kid I Started A Baseball Team. I Was A Terrible Player, But I Put Together A Group Of Neighborhood Kids. I Started A Hockey Team. I Put The Kids Together And Got A Sponsor. So I Can Always Kind Of Organize People And Get Things Done.

Well, I Started Years Ago With Flashdance And We Also Did Coyote Ugly, So I Have Put My Toe In The Water Before With Romantic Comedies. I Love Making Them And I Love Making People Laugh. That's A Trademark That I Don't Think Any Producer Would Turn Down.
