I Got A Super 8 Camera When

I've Been A Book Collector Since I Was Young, Since I Was A Kid.

I Learn More From The Audience Than I Can From Anybody Else. Not From What They Write On The Scorecards, But How They Respond To The Movie While They're Watching It - Where They Laugh And Where They React.

There's No Greater Feeling Than People Coming Up To Me And Going, "man, My Father Was Dying, And We Went To See Rush Hour, And It Was The Greatest Night We Had In Years Together. We Sat In That Theater And We Laughed For Two Hours Without Stopping. That Was Just A Great Memory That I Had Before My Father Died."

Miami Beach - That's Where I Grew Up, In A Middle-class Jewish Family Led By My Maternal Grandfather. Me, My Great-grandmother - A Holocaust Survivor, Who Was My Roommate - My Grandparents, My Mom And Her Brother All Shared A Four-bedroom House.

When Critics Or People Judge, I Think It's Harder To Make A Commercial, Pop Movie Than It Is To Make A Pretentious Art Film. It's Harder To Reach Millions Of People And Satisfy Them And Make Them Happy. These Films Kind Of Get Ghettoized, This Genre Because There Are So Many Big, Big Movies That Are Such Big Hits, But Aren't Any Good. The Audiences, They're Not Judging The Style Of The Director, Or The Execution Of The Film. They're Just Looking To Be Entertained. They Want To Escape From Their Reality, And That's Why We Make Movies, To Get People To Escape From The Realities.
