I am fascinated with times past.

One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life', which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.

Boy, I'd hate to shoot on tape or disc or whatever the hell they're talking about. I love film.

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.

I just tell you what a pleasure it is to get back to the kind of filmmaking I used to be allowed to do.

The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another.

The amazing thing about any movie is not whether it's good, but that it got made at all.
