[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.

More quotes by 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].

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
Never underestimate the power of your sister.

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.

I think men should go see Beaches too. I think they'll understand women better.
Garry Marshall
Now women are rising to great positions and they run most of the studios now.

We can't compete with Mel Gibson, but we figured we could do our part.

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
I think a lot of creative people have no sense of numbers and economics.

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
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.

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
For Joey Bishop, always was kind of the lost soul, so I did a traffic joke.
Garry Marshall
There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
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 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
I dont sit well. I like to move around as I talk.

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
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.
