I've cut myself out... I've cut scenes out that I was in and that's when you realize that you've got to make the best movie you can.
More Quotes from Jon Favreau:
At first you want to have a reputation as being talented or funny or...you know...special. As you go through it you just the biggest compliment you can get is to be...to get recognized that you're a real pro and consummate professional.Jon Favreau
The kids movies aren't very good, so the kids end up watching movies that are more geared toward adults. My 4-year-old wants to see 'Spider-Man.' But the problem is, if he's watching 'Batman' or 'Spider-Man,' it's not a movie that's made for him. And so, as a parent, you're constantly walking that line of 'Do I bring him to 'Fantastic Four' Do I bring him to this'

I looked at the top 10 films every year, and half of them were made for families. That's a safety zone. There is more opportunity for pure storytelling when you're dealing with the family audience and more creative freedom to explore different genres without being held to the same standard as movies geared toward an adult audience.
