When I am working it is up early and coffee and 15 hours of being on the set. When I am not working, it is up late and coffee, golf or softball and hopefully a ball game on the television.

I think I would have a better time writing films rather than directing.

There are a couple of teachers I have had without whose influence I would not be as happy with who I am.

You never get every job you want.

And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.

I think it is obvious that people repeat acts that are shown on the television or the screen and I wouldn't want to inspire any violence on anyone.

I used to get some flack from my agents because I wouldn't even audition for parts where the hero uses violent force to be a hero.
