[on addressing the skepticism of climate-change deniers] I make a concerted effort to do conservative media. People go, "Oh no, don't do that. They'll eat you alive." But I don't care; that's what I need to do. I need to reach those people and at least give them the opportunity to listen to the information. I really believe if people have information, they will make wise decisions.

The box-office performance of Splash (1984) was a large part of the reason that the Walt Disney company greenlighted not only a made-for-television sequel, but also its animated feature The Little Mermaid (1989).
