I have always been fascinated by the corruption of power.

From a writing point of view, you now have teams of screenwriters working with a director. What's lost in the process is the power of that one heart, brain, gut and soul that makes something an original piece of writing.

There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.

Joe Lieberman frightens me. Why should we, an Hollywood voter, donate money to a man who threatens our creative freedom, our freedom of expression.

I had read too many memoirs that were written after the writer or the director was past his or her prime.

Fact is we went on to do other things. But we still wanted to do our success like rock'n'roll stars.

I have my own religious bond with the God in my own head.
