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

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.

I wasn't really that good at being a musician. And then I tried being a standup. I was an actor. I was a photographer. I tried everything. Nothing was particularly working for me, but then, as a musician, I wrote jokes for comics. And they started to buy my jokes, and that's where I thought maybe that might work.

I'm a little older and I'm gonna do a bunch more movies and then they're gonna put me in a home for old directors.

I'm too old to be forced.

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

[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.
