I thought a great line in the What Just Happened movie said, "We're just the mayonnaise."

You have a movie and it proves itself and then certain things happen.

When I began to think about the head of the family, the storyteller, the rise of television which became the new storyteller, the break-up of the American family as an idea and then Avalon came.

Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.

Craig Nelson who is an actor and is in a show called Coach in the United States. We began to do some improvisational stuff and we used to get laughs and things.

It's always hard to explain why an audience ultimately responds to a movie.

There was a time when I said, "I'm going to go do a television thing," after doing all these theatrical films, and heard, "Television? Why are you going to go back to television?" It's an interesting place.
