If things were easy to find, they wouldn’t be worth finding.

Making a film is to make sure that everybody looks forward to coming to work.

Mass-market movies have become about one thing. They kind of declare themselves right off the bat. . . . But when I go to see (a film), I want to be surprised. I want to see something I never expected. And when you get that, it should be celebrated.

I had to say no to 'Fantasy Island' back when I was doing 'Bosom Buddies.'

The desert, when the sun comes up...I couldn't tell where heaven stopped and the Earth began.

You don't necessarily go in to talk to the person to try to find some secret key to the lock.

At the end of the day it's got to be a good movie, it's got to be a funny movie, and it's got to make people think, 'Hey, I couldn't have spent my time any better.'
