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

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

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

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'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.

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.

My partner after Fred Freeman was Jerry Belson. And Jerry Belson, after I was doing so well writing situation comedy, said, this is not good enough. We got to create our own shows. I said, but we're very happy doing this. No, no, no, you got to get your own show. So he made me - and he and I created our own shows. And we actually - everything we created failed. "Hey, Landlord" was our first show - 99th in the ratings. But imagine this - it's a great reflection on the years.
