The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.

Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album. So I'm very familiar with the Beatles; Ringo was my favorite Beatle until I grew up and then changed. I made the switch over to George Harrison just in time to regain my cool.

You always fear, when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story, that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson...

I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors.

I mean, I don't like anyone who likes themselves too much.

I guess I'm a workaholic!

As a teenager, my favourite rejection was, 'She looks too healthy,' which of course translates as, 'She needs to lose weight.'
