The thing I noticed, have learned the most about directors, is: when they're very confident in themselves, they're open to creativity from other people. If they're scared or nervous, then they shut off and nobody's ideas [count].

I was tall from minute one. Always the tallest kid by a large margin. And my fantasy was to take up less space in the world.

I had a deliberate plan to get into movies by becoming a model, so I went to New York and got a job pretending to be a mannequin in store windows.

I do like the process of producing. Later in my career, like when I had the TV show, I was a producer and I've been on a few things.
