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.

If I couldn't broadcast baseball games, I think I would make a good impression on people.

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

I still have not given up the idea of becoming a journalist, but at 17 I decided to follow my heart and stay in Los Angeles with my girlfriend as opposed to going to Johns Hopkins.

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

Have you noticed how most directors are either bald or grey-haired?
