I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.

Media reporting denied privacy to anybody doing what I do for a living. It was no longer possible to work on your picture in privacy.

I have a lot of nightmares.

Kids in general make things fresh and alive and they have this great appreciation for, Holy mackerel, we're making a movie!

It never stops, accepting that fact is difficult. I took some time out for life.

When you produce and direct your own film you have the somewhat consoling feeling that the producer will kill for you.

Great things that can happen when you're doing a movie.

I always believe you can't kill good movies, because somebody's in some room and will die unless it gets made.

I value comedy. I value somebody who can be funny.

Things get very distorted when you do a movie, weirdly so.

Once you read the script, it's the only way it can be.

I had a marketing idea that everybody hated, decency is sexy.

I think you have a pact with an audience in every picture, and I think the pact is to try and be truthful and to be real.

A lot of things just aren't true any more.

My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.

The way you think either stands in your way or assists you in achieving your goals.

If you only know something one way, then you don't really know it.

The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them.

I had read enough mediocre scripts and was determined not to inflict another one on the world.
