I think "quiet" sometime is a greater power than noise. It can harbor and reveal feelings that can't be expressed.

I'm always moving forward and trying new things.

Any time I saw people treated unfairly because of race, creed, whatever - it struck a nerve.

I was producing things I was acting in, but I had never directed and I felt it was time. I was looking for a piece of material that was about behavior and feelings. When I read Judith Guest's book, I thought, This is it.

I would see my hometown, Los Angeles, change. Green space and orange groves gave way to cement, freeways flooded with traffic, and air pollution, all in the name of "progress." I felt like I was losing my home. It had a profound effect on me, and I realized just how important nature was to my spirit, my soul, my point of view.

I'm not much interested in sport just as sport. I wouldn't be interested in making a golf film or baseball or fishing film.

Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.
