I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries.

Sometimes you fall in love with some things and then you fall out of love with it.

To his credit John Wayne was open about it, he even portrayed a member of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee in a film called 'Big Jim McClain.'

Sometimes I would like the opportunity to do character-driven comedy and that's really what I was trying to do in Meet The Parents. I think in a way this is a more old fashioned type of comedy.

One of the series of decisions that the great screenwriter John McNamara made was about who to depict. [Ronald] Reagan had a role in HUAC, he was a friendly witness, but never went over-the-top about it.

Sometimes perfecting the one thing can be the enemy of getting any traction on anything else.

I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.
