I don't read my own reviews and I haven't for probably 15 years. I read other people's reviews, though.

Before Footloose, the things I'd done weren't cute. In Diner I was an alcoholic.

I want to see the numbers that prove that show-business marriages are any less successful than other marriages. It's just very public when they fail.

I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.

I have a natural swagger.

I always watch rushes. They give me a sense of whether I'm going in the right direction. You work hard and hopefully get encouragement from what you see.

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.
