To me, life is like the back nine in golf. Sometimes you play better on the back nine. You may not be stronger, but hopefully you're wiser. And if you keep most of your marbles intact, you can add a note of wisdom to the coming generation.

I don't watch a lot of films. I'm usually involved in making them.

I always like to try different things, different genres; stories that have a dramatic element and can generate conflict which I find appealing; where the characters have to overcome obstacles. That kind of thing is challenging.

I've never met a genius. A genius to me is someone who does well at something he hates. Anybody can do well at something he loves - it's just a question of finding the subject.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.

This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.

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