Drinking again? Go to hell. All I ever do is make some movies that made a lot of money now leave me alone, I want to have some fun.

Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it.

Totie Fields is one of my benchmarks for a lot of things. There was a standard of show business.

The way financing for independent movies goes is great. You get the money from the guy who's actually doing the distribution in France. You say, "Do you want a piece of this movie?" And he's got to sell this movie to get his money back. That's the brains of it; that's the genius of this financing. "You want Germany? Give us a million dollars and you've got Germany."

I'm just a potato that won't quit. I'm a potato with some legs. Some have eyes, I've got legs.

I've retired a couple of times. It's great, because you can just say, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I'm retired.'

I try to be alert and available. I try to be available for life to happen to me.
