Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film.

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

Betrayal... is my favorite subject.

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

Look, I'm just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda.

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.

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.
