You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this.

More quotes by Garry Marshall
You do a little more of a record album these days. See I just wanted to put a few songs in Beaches and we did very well. The album of Beaches went gold.
Garry Marshall
There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
Garry Marshall
If you’ve got the comedy eye, you can look at any situation and see the humor in it while others don’t.
Garry Marshall
I am a total believer of making the process a good time - make it memorable, have some fun, try to shoot high in your quality and then dont get crazy, see what happens.
Garry Marshall
I always remember writing a page of jokes for a comedian and handing it to him backstage at a club and he read it and then took his cigarette lighter and lit the page on...
Garry Marshall
I'm a little older and I'm gonna do a bunch more movies and then they're gonna put me in a home for old directors.
Garry Marshall
Never underestimate the power of your sister.
Garry Marshall
I had never done a Director's Cut narration on Beaches so I did in time for the release of the DVD. It was a great visit and I do a whole-behind-the-scenes thing and I tell stories about Bette [Mudler] and Barbara Hershey and everybody and that was fun. It made me cry again.
Garry Marshall
Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.
Garry Marshall
I'm basically a writer, it's who I am. I direct and I like theatre directing very much. But I've done 17 movies, they don't say 'Let's get Garry, he'll make a helicopter shot,' they say 'Get Garry, he'll fix the script.'
Garry Marshall
I played a lot of ball and got hurt, stitches and this and that. That, sometimes they said, built character. I don't think it built anything.
Garry Marshall
Now women are rising to great positions and they run most of the studios now.
Garry Marshall
I made nepotism an art form, so I get to work with a lot of relatives and they're part of it.
Garry Marshall
I was crying when I was editing [Beacher] but I stopped all the screenings years ago because I had a headache but then I had seen it again... Well I always cry at the same place, when they play that song Wind Beneath My Wings. It gets you.
Garry Marshall
I started as a journalist actually. I graduated from Northwestern Medill School of Journalism and with my degree discovered, once out in the real world, I wasn't very good at it.
Garry Marshall
[Beaches] is a pretty picture and I just liked having somebody like Bette [Mudler] who can be flying in the big comedy scenes and have her do more like a realistic part.
Garry Marshall
I work with a lot of women and yeah I see totally different... My two sisters were different, I have two daughters that are pretty different.
Garry Marshall
I think men should go see Beaches too. I think they'll understand women better.
Garry Marshall
I think I learned a lot on Beaches. A guy I worked with Dante Spinotti is a wonderful cinematographer and it was his first picture and he went on to be nominated for an Academy Award for LA Confidential which was great.
Garry Marshall
I directed fourteen movies. Every movie had Hector Elizondo. He didn't like Beaches. I don't know, it was originally not a happy movie at all, it was much sadder than that. And they brought me in to kind of make it a little more 'warm', I guess you might call it. The original ending was a whole messy thing.
