You don't always have to have the ending, but you want to have a satisfactory conclusion.

There's no downside to having too much experience.

I don't know what Bruce Willis has done in real life. We know actors have certainly had tirades - that's for sure. I never had troubles with him, but the big issue is really less about what Bruce is, as opposed to - this behavior has taken place, and sometimes it came out at something that had credibility, as opposed to, "No, I want to be fat and have a beard." Other people say, "I don't give a damn about the credibility. I paid $20 million. I want to see a movie star."

First of all, just to get Diner made would have been an achievement in that I got a chance to direct.

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.

No one really has the power, and everybody's trying to get through the day, and everybody's nervous and desperate.
