For Joey Bishop, always was kind of the lost soul, so I did a traffic joke.

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

I directed fourteen movies. Every movie had Hector Elizondo. He didn't like Beaches. I don't know, it was originally not a happy movie at all, it was much sadder than that. And they brought me in to kind of make it a little more 'warm', I guess you might call it. The original ending was a whole messy thing.

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

I'm very excited about is that my son Scott is a director and he just finished his first picture. It's called "Lucky 13", it's a low budget picture, it stars Jeremy Dillon, Daryl Hannah and Jami Gertz.

I wrote three years for Lucille Ball. She taught me everything I know about physical comedy...

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