Quote

At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.

I never saw myself as a director. It's certainly a second language but making movies for 40 years, you pick stuff up.

Romantic love can be a lot of crap, though, let me tell you. And it can hurt you.

I have a life and do a lot of things, and so far my work has been my life. If I was a painter no one would question me about my age. I'm an artist, I hate saying that.
