Nobody does a lot of plotting. They can't. Everybody wants to do that in life, but I think it's almost impossible. Opportunities present themselves, and you say, "Hey, is this interesting to me?" Is this something you might want to pursue? Maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't. It really does have to do with a "one foot in front of the other" kind of thing, I think.

When the computer and tablets are all about playing games, thats not interesting to me.

If you are at odds with the director, neither one of you is going to get anywhere. You really do have to be able to make both of you happy.

Like Ivan [Reitman] has said, there's a lot that a life encompasses.

If you're 50, you're never going to be 50 ever again, so enjoy being 50. If you sit through the year wishing you were younger, before you know it, it's going to be over, and you're going to be 51.

The thing about 50 is that you've clearly reached a point where you have more of your life behind you than ahead of you, and that's a very different place to be in. You're thinking, 'I've done most of it.' I don't like that feeling. But it makes you evaluate your life and go, 'Am I doing what I want to do? Am I spending my time the way I want?' 

My schedule, it always looks like it's really steady, but believe it or not, I tend to work a bunch and then take a year off.
