The irony is that you can't use real rain to make movies.

My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool.

The tragic element of a character is always intriguing I think.

I'm happy to report that everybody whose face I've wanted to punch on Earth has already been punched.

Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.

I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.

Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.
