Never underestimate the power of your sister.

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.

It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile.

I think I learned a lot on Beaches. A guy I worked with Dante Spinotti is a wonderful cinematographer and it was his first picture and he went on to be nominated for an Academy Award for "LA Confidential" which was great.

[The movie Beaches] was really about how women fight. Women fight, say terrible things to each other and an hour later they make up and go shopping. I think they got the better idea of how it should be done.

I made nepotism an art form, so I get to work with a lot of relatives and they're part of it.

I dont sit well. I like to move around as I talk.
