Great things that can happen when you're doing a movie.

I had a marketing idea that everybody hated, decency is sexy.

[Screenwriting] is no more complicated than old French torture chambers, I think. It's about as simple as that.

I think you have a pact with an audience in every picture, and I think the pact is to try and be truthful and to be real.

I always believe you can't kill good movies, because somebody's in some room and will die unless it gets made.

I've done it with Broadcast News-where there was no finish line, there was no agenda that I had to move all the characters to this point, that I was sort of open to what happens.

A lot of things just aren't true any more.
