I'm basically a writer, it's who I am. I direct and I like theatre directing very much. But I've done 17 movies, they don't say 'Let's get Garry, he'll make a helicopter shot,' they say 'Get Garry, he'll fix the script.'

We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.

I think men should go see Beaches too. I think they'll understand women better.

I always remember writing a page of jokes for a comedian and handing it to him backstage at a club and he read it and then took his cigarette lighter and lit the page on...

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.

I work with a lot of women and yeah I see totally different... My two sisters were different, I have two daughters that are pretty different.

I think a lot of creative people have no sense of numbers and economics.
