Films and hotels have many aspects that are the same. For example, there is always a big vision, an idea.

Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film.

I've been failing for, like, ten or eleven years. When it turns, it'll turn. Right now I'm just trying to squeeze through a very tight financial period, get the movie out, and put my things in order.

You ought to love what you're doing because, especially in a movie, over time you really will start to hate it.

I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.

The most adventurous thing I've done is learn how to fly a helicopter in the Philippines. One night we landed on a beach and slept on it.

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.
