I was very disappointed that Denzel didn't win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it.

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

Betrayal... is my favorite subject.

I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.

I don't like to think that maybe I'm just getting old. I'm not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I'm more interested in people and characters.

Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man's relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition.

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.
