Tom Hanks was really great [the 'Burbs']. The director, Joe Dante, was wonderful. We filmed it here during the summer, every day at Universal. Even the food was good - I mean it was junk but it was really good. The whole thing was like some ideal summer-school experience. It may not have been the best movie ever, but it was certainly the most fun.

Sex was for men. Marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.

Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.

In my opinion, a problem derails your life and an inconvenience is not being able to get a nice seat on the un-derailed train.
