My autobiography was simply the story of my life.

You don't have to become something you're not to be better than you were.

We're all imperfect, and life is simply a perpetual, unending struggle against those imperfections.

An appreciable number of directors have shifted to lower-cost films, allowing them to be satisfied with a more modest return.

So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether.

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be.
