Our job as directors is to entertain an audience, it's not just to do it for the director. You might as well sit in a white room and look at the movie for the rest of your life - it's ridiculous.

Impossible to see, the future is.

In a stage play, you kill the leads and they come out for a bow - in a movie, they don't come out for a bow, they're dead.

I want to get into the theater. I really wanted to be a theater director, but I turned out to be a movie director.

I love Britain, I lived there for nine years doing shows and things, but I don't know what a British sensibility is. I'd like to have someone tell me what an American sensibility is.

I'd like to read a book sometime. I've never read a book before. That'd be an adventure. I understand they have pages and everything. Yeah, I've got to do that sometime.

I've always wanted to do non-comedies, I've always done dramas, comedies, music, and I always like to bop around and do different things.
