I suppose they call me a womans director because there were all these movie queens in the old days, and I directed most of them. But I also directed Jack Barrymore and Ronald Colman and James Stewart, to name a few.

You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure.

Real talent is a mystery, and people who've got it, know it.

Don't let a kick in the ass stop you. It's how you cope that says what you are.

Looking for love is tricky business, like whipping a carousel horse.

Give me a good script, and I'll be a hundred times better as a director.

You can always land on your feet if you know where the ground is.
