I Think Of Myself As A Real

I've Always Had That Overweening Desire To Be Liked By The Audience.

I Did A Comedy With Al Franken About His Character Stuart Smalley, Which Was Really About Alcoholism And Addiction And Codependency. It Had Some Painful Stuff In It. When We Showed It To Focus Groups, Some Of Them Actually Said, "if I Want To See A Dysfunctional Family, I'll Stay Home."

My Job Is To Come Up With Something That You Like And You Agree With That You Would Play Wholeheartedly. If We Disagree, I May Not Be Doing My Job Correctly.

I've Been Directing For 25 Years Almost, And I've Only Directed Nine Films In That Time Because I Like To Be Careful.

Some People Have A Fear Of Rejecting All The Security That Comes With Family, Church And State. They Become Fundamentalists.
