We all feel that if we have a crazy idea that might get laughed at, there's nothing wrong with seeing if there's a crazy writer out there who agrees with us and can take it to a crazy network and somehow bring something that's a little bit daft and edgy to life.

I had no choice. It was just something that happened. I was always looking for ways to act out, and I got a camera and it acted out for me.

Actors just need each other to act together.

Even though I get older, what I do never gets old, and that's what I think keeps me hungry.

I committed to directing 'Catch Me If You Can' not because of the divorce component, but principally because Frank Abagnale did things that were the most astonishing scams I had ever heard.

The greatest films ever made in our history were cut on film, and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the process. I just love going into an editing room and smelling the photochemistry and seeing my editor wearing mini-strands of film around his neck.

All those horrible, traumatic years I spent as a kid became what I draw from creatively today.
