I’ve never been comfortable around groups of guys when it gets into the putting-down. My past being a kind of geek - it kind of turns into an attack on the weakest of the group.

I always felt, and still feel, one of my best strengths as a director is having been an actor for a long time. Nobody knows actors and their insecurities and strengths and everything more than somebody who's done it before.

The hard thing is getting people to come to the theater to see something, no matter if it's good or not.

A lot of comedies fall apart because they just go from joke to joke, and the characters are all sort of being crazy off on their own.

I find that so many times when somebody tries to go back in, it sort of isn't as good and you wish they hadn't done it.

I'm really a skeptic. I'm kind of not a believer in the paranormal.

When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.
