I didn't have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you're rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You're behind the eight ball when you go in there.

You'll have time to rest when you're dead.

When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody's face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home.

When you are working hard, you don't have time for anything other than what you are doing in the scene and what the director wants.

It's a very stressful thing, directing a movie. You have the budget, you have the schedule, you are in certain confines, and you have everybody giving you advice about what to do.

Things rarely turn out the way we want them to.

I always say people can call me anything they want as long as they don't call me late for supper.
