You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this.

You do a little more of a record album these days. See I just wanted to put a few songs in Beaches and we did very well. The album of Beaches went gold.

If you’ve got the comedy eye, you can look at any situation and see the humor in it while others don’t.

I think it holds up pretty good because more and more women are coming to the forefront in all areas, and back then they said that nobody would care about women's friendship.

In the middle of Beaches there's a scene from the "Laverne & Shirley" TV show so they see some history of my work in each film.
