I learn more from the audience than I can from anybody else. Not from what they write on the scorecards, but how they respond to the movie while they're watching it - where they laugh and where they react.

I've watched 'Being There' over 50 times, and every time I watch it, I love every frame. I just wish I had directed it myself.

You can't show a four-hour movie in a theater, really.

Less money sometimes allows you to be more creative.

I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.

Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.

I would love a robot butler.
