I'm not a great man to my children. I'm just 'Pop.' The more involved I am with my kids, it keeps my head flat on top.

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.

I'm not really interested in making money. That's always come as the result of success, but it's not been my goal.

I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.

I am an American Jew and aware of the sensitivities involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I'm not in a race with anybody to make the biggest hit movie anymore. I am just trying to tell stories that I can stay interested in for the two years it takes me to supervise the writing and to direct them.

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