I've always had an easy time directing actors because I always hire ones that are great before I get my hands on them.

I was a nervous child, I was a bedwetter. I used to sleep with an electric blanket and I was constantly electrocuting myself.

I have no regard for that kind of ceremony. I just don't think they know what they're doing. When you see who wins those things-or who doesn't win them-you can see how meaningless this Oscar thing is.

I'm very old-fashioned. I believe that people should stay married for life, like pigeons and Catholics.

It's very hard to keep your spirits up. You've got to keep selling yourself a bill of goods, and some people are better at lying to themselves than others. If you face reality too much, it kills you.... you've got to find an answer to the question: Why go on?

We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.

In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.
