Obviously, In The Heat Of The Night was a landmark movie because the timing was perfect. It was in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement.

I was really excited to have the opportunity to make Fiddler.

We live in an age of publicity and hype. There's something about success that dehumanizes you, whereas failure reminds you of who you really are.

When you shoot a musical, you're shooting to lipsynch tracks, so we had to figure out our choreography and work out what we wanted to do with each number before we did it.

The album for Fiddler really took off. I think it was a combination of John Williams and the score. It was a very classy big album.

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