I work with a lot of movie stars.

A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long. You can't talk to them. It's Method and the whole thing.

It's an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn't valid. They're selling films like a product.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

I mean they're making remakes of my films and I'm not even dead yet! Why would you want to make a remake?

I still get a lot of material but I find that as one gets older you get more fussy. You know you're going spend a year or a year and a half on this and you know there are only so many films in you so you get a little bit more selective.
