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

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

There's no downside to having too much experience.

All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens, small moments happen and that's what ultimately works the best for me.

I got involved with an acting school and studied for a couple years. They used to have improv exercises that you would work on and you would do improvs.

I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety.

I think we are seeing a radical shift in the business in general. The studios are making much more of the real big extravaganzas and there are other kinds of films that are coming out. I think you are going to begin to see more diversification that we've seen in the past.
