I was born on Wellington Avenue and my family that remains lives in the Lake Shore Drive area.

God, I'd love to do a big commercial movie that made a lot of money and whose plot was interesting too.

Oh, I was completely hooked on movies and plays and theater from the time I was a day old; I was very, very early on in love with movies and I loved plays.

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.

I produced and directed a movie a couple years ago that won some awards that Samuel Goldwyn released called 'The Last Good Time'. I wrote, produced and directed it, but I wasn't in it.

If anyone would have been paying serious attention to my puppet shows, I would have been sent to therapy very young.

I was very much in my room with my marionette stage, you know, creating these incredibly boring things that I felt were so fascinating, and forcing my relatives to come, and charging money for them to see my little productions.
