The Big Chill is one of those things that everybody can identify with. Between eight characters, they can pick somebody who's somewhat like them

I was so exhausted after fighting for the project for five years, shooting it was like the Bataan Death March

Most of what gets made now, you laugh your way through, go home and forget you've seen it.

I don't think a director should have any kids. I don't even think it's good for your physical health. Even guys in their 30s look exhausted because directors never get enough sleep. What I do is stressful enough

I don't care about being a star. I can do a supporting role; I don't have to be a lead

I remember seeing Bill Hurt in New York once. I talked to him on the phone around 1988 and that's about it. I was shooting in New York and somebody said Glenn Close came by the set

I like playing flawed characters, people who aren't perfect.
