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
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.

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.

I'm very excited about is that my son Scott is a director and he just finished his first picture. It's called Lucky 13, it's a low budget picture, it stars Jeremy Dillon, Daryl Hannah and Jami Gertz.

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.

I like to get up in the morning and see people.

That's why my ires always come comedic in a way because - can I just say something? See, I sound like such a smooth talker.

Never underestimate the power of your sister.

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.

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.

In the middle of Beaches there's a scene from the Laverne & Shirley TV show so they see some history of my work in each film.

Now women are rising to great positions and they run most of the studios now.

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
Women are pretty good. Women usually fight about some stupid guy and then when they figure out it's just a stupid guy they make up and move on.

I wasn't really that good at being a musician. And then I tried being a standup. I was an actor. I was a photographer. I tried everything. Nothing was particularly working for me, but then, as a musician, I wrote jokes for comics. And they started to buy my jokes, and that's where I thought maybe that might work.
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 really wasn't too interested in writing Father Knows Best and Ozzie And Harriet. I thought they were pleasant enough, but it wasn't really what I wanted to do.
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.

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
You can't have an actor where the audience says, aw, that poor, sweet guy. You got to get somebody who's, like, nondescript in a way or just somebody that looks a little like they should get it. So this is all I learned actually learn from Lucy [Ball].
Garry Marshall
Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.
