One thing the futurists never get right, though, is that the extreme desire for polyester only lasted a brief period in the '70s!

Red Dawn' was very resonant with a lot of people - they love that movie. I always thought it was a little hysterical.

My kids can't watch ('Howard the Duck'). By the time I get in bed with the duck, they are, like, 'Turn it off, mom. You in bed with a duck is just pretty much a deal breaker.'

Supporting myself at an early age was the best training for life I could have possibly received.

Red Dawn was really the most fun I ever had making a movie, because I love Westerns, and I love the idea of being a tomboy, and riding horses and shooting guns.

I think it's really hard to understand the depths and the power of the love that someone has for their children unless you really have children.

I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.
