Sometimes you need to get away for a few weeks just to figure out who you are again.

Every day I live by only one rule, be a good guy.

The only thing worse than a crappy TV show which Paddy Chayevsky couldn't have conceived in his worst nightmare is two megacorps fighting over who thought of the crappy show first.

I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.

I'm trying to think if there was ever the Lenny Bruce-y, observational, George Carlin kind of magician: "You know what I hate is ..." I don't think that ever existed.

The audience doesn't care that most of happened. They just want a good movie.

I remember the Time review [on the Hit and Run]said that there wasn't one laugh in it. And I had watched the movie 50 times with audiences, and it always played great. There was certainly a moment where you could tell the audience was like, "Wow, this is really getting weird."
