I took some time out for life.

I spent two years telling studio heads that it wasn't a cancer picture. I hate cancer pictures. I don't want to see a cancer picture. There is only one thing worth saying about cancer, and that is that there are human beings in cancer wards.

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

Things get very distorted when you do a movie, weirdly so.

When you produce and direct your own film you havethe somewhat consoling feeling that the producer will kill for you.

Kids in general make things fresh and alive and they have this great appreciation for, Holy mackerel, we're making a movie!

I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.
