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

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

I'm very proud of my flops, as much as of my successes.

As long as I can make lots of money in other businesses, I'll continue to subsidize my own work.

I had been a kid that moved so much, I didn’t have a lot of friends. Theater really represented that kind of camaraderie.

If you're a person who says yes most of the time, you'll find yourself in the hotel business and the restaurant business.

An essential element of any art is risk. If you don't take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn't been seen before?
