Now women are rising to great positions and they run most of the studios now.
Garry Marshall
Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.
Garry Marshall
My mother worked all of her life, she was a dance teacher and I also noticed, to be honest, that most of the male directors wanted to blow things up so there was like an open area for somebody who wanted to direct women movies, chick flicks, whatever you... I don't call them chick flicks.

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.

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
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
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
We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.
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.
Garry Marshall
There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
