I Really Try Hard Not To Work,

I've Had Really Great Experiences Working With First-time Directors. They Come At Filmmaking With Fresh Ideas. I've Been Very Lucky That Way.

I Have No Lucky Charm. I Am 100 Percent Superstition-free, And I Take Nothing For Granted.

You Can Relate To Somebody's Pain And You Have Compassion, Which Can Lead To Intimacy.

I Kept Dreaming Of A World I Thought I'd Never See, And Then....one Day....i Got In!

I Love Seeing Somebody Act Real Earnest And Serious, Like Jackie Gleason. He Makes Me Laugh Because He Reflects Back To Me My Own Serious-mindedness And How Ridiculous It All Is. It's Always Easier To See Somebody Else In That Position Than Yourself, And You Laugh. It's Like The Classic Slipping On The Banana Peel, Or Someone Getting Hit By A Pie In The Face. Why Do Those Things Make Us Laugh? Is It From Relief, Like: Thank God It Wasn't Me? Or Is It Something Else: I'm Being Very Serious Now. I'm Pontificating Earnestly And Solemnly About-pow! Pie In The Face! The Bust-up Of Certainty.
