I've Made Movies That Cost Less Than

There Have Been Screenwriters Who I'm Sure Would Gladly Kill Me, Because I've Been Very Fast And Loose With Their Work, Because I Felt Like It Wasn't Up To My High Standards. I Would Push And Pull It On Set, And Make Changes All The Time. But Then When You're Working With An Original Screenplay, My Theater Instincts Kick In, And I Suddenly Become Very Keeper-of-the-words.

I've Made Movies That Cost Less Than One Car Chase.

Children Make You Confront Your Own Childhood. Which I Think Is Common. Suddenly You're Remembering Your Own Parents As Parents, Not To Mention The Fact That You're Confronted By Them As Grandparents. So You Also Have That Terrible Shock, A Mirror Image Of Your Own. You Suddenly Seem To Be So Helpless In The Face Of Young Children. And You Think, "how Did You Ever Bring Up Me?"

One Of The Reasons I Loved Working With Tom Is People Feel They Know Who He Is... I Think Working With An Actor Who The Audience Already Has A Relationship With Actually Helps You In A Film Like This.

You've Got To Believe As A Filmmaker That If A Movie's Good Enough, It's Going To Survive; And If It's Not, Well, It Won't.
