Cinema without risk is like having no sex and expecting to have a baby.

Steven Spielberg is unique. I feel that the kinds of movies he loves are the same kinds of movies that the big mass audience loves. He's very fortunate because he can do the things he naturally likes the best, and he's been very successful.

People feel the worst film I made was 'Jack.' But to this day, when I get checks from old movies I've made, 'Jack' is one of the biggest ones. No one knows that. If people hate the movie, they hate the movie. I just wanted to work with Robin Williams.

If I have to be remembered for something, I want it remembered that I really liked children and was a good camp counselor.

I had a number of teachers who hated me. I didn't do well in school.

Death is what makes life an event.
