I Tend To Turn Down

Part Of The Advantage, And Part Of The Result Of Trying To Be A Producer And Director, Are The Practical Things, You Find. It's So Advantageous To Go To A Place That You Already Have A Feel For, A Literal And Spiritual Familiarity.

As You Get Older, I Think Everyone Feels That, No Matter What The Job: To Try A Hand At Running The Business As Opposed To Simply Being An Employee.

Most Of The Time For Me, You're Learning What Not To Do, As Opposed To What To Do. You Never Know What To Do. I Don't, Especially In A Work Environment. You Have A Little Formula Yourself. But When I See A Director Do Something I Think, Whatever He Or She Just Said Totally Screwed That Actor Up And Now They're Worse. I'm Never Going To Do That. I'm Going To Figure Out Something Else. I Want My Movie To Be Good. And That's How It Works.

Working Hard Is Great, Being Lazy Sometimes Is Great, But Failed Potential Is The Worst.

I'm 47, I Have Gray Hair, And Yet People Still Come Up To Me On The Street Who Are In Their Twenties, Who Weren't Even Born When 'singles' Was Made... Well, They Were Pretty Tiny, Anyway... And They Say, 'oh, I Love That Movie.' And I Always Say, 'how Old Are You?'
