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

You don't have to specialize - do everything that you love and then, at some time, the future will come together for you in some form.

I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.

I probably have genius. But no talent.

I always think upon Lee Strasberg with warmth, and reviewing his wisdom is a pleasure.

I remember growing up with television, from the time it was just a test pattern, with maybe a little bit of programming once in a while.

When I was going for my graduate degree, I decided I was going to make a feature film as my thesis. That's what I was famous for-that I had my thesis film be a feature film, which was 'You're a Big Boy Now.'
