In America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience.

As you get older, you change certain things.

I'm so glad for the dozens of times I haven't listened along the way.

People have lost their sense of humor. In former times, we constantly made jokes about different races.

I never expect anything. I am always amazed at why anybody goes to any movie or why anybody doesn't go to any movie. Any movie you make, you make it because you're hoping somebody wants to see it, but you never know.

I'm a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.

Nobody, I mean nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog.
