Radical surgery is never fun.

One of the things about working on Star Trek that was always so great was that we all got along as well as we did. We really became family.

[Out To Sea] was like a dream come true for me, because I got to work with Jack [Lemmon] and Walter [Matthau], who were unbelievable.

Harry [ Hannigan] and Chris [Ellis] are sitting there while we're doing [ Fresh Hell], and Chris is directing, obviously, but if we start fooling around a little bit, Harry comes in, and he's got some addition that makes it even funnier. But we start with a complete script.

I think it's the business part of the word show business that causes me the most concern.

It seemed like an interesting movie [Independence Day], and I thought I had a take on the part that was going to be unique. That doesn't happen to me very often.

[Independence Day] was a sweet, sweet job, because it was one of those big surprises.
