More quotes by 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.

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.

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.
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'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
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 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.
