There was always a part of me that wanted to be an old-time director. But I couldn’t do that. I’m not a pro Picture Quote #1

Our world is so glutted with useless information, images, useless images, sounds, all this sort of thing. It’s a cacophony, it’s like a madness I think that’s been happening in the past twenty-five years. And I think anything that can help a person sit in a room alone and not worry about it is good Picture Quote #1

People say you should do it this way, someone else suggests that, yes, there’s financing, but maybe you should use this actor. And there are the threats, at the end - if you don’t do it this way, you’ll lose your box office; if you don’t do it that way, you’ll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up Picture Quote #1

I’m in a different chapter of my life. As time goes by and I grow older, I find that I need to just be quiet and think. There have been periods when I’ve locked myself away for days, but now it’s different - I’m married and we have a daughter who is in my office the whole time Picture Quote #1

DAYS THAT I’LL REMEMBER is a lovingly assembled and beautifully written collection of conversations, observations, and memories of music, friendship, and days gone by.

When I was growing up, I don’t remember being told that America was created so that everyone could get rich. I remember being told it was about opportunity and the pursuit of happiness. Not happiness itself, but the pursuit Picture Quote #1

I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism - where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs - is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we’re talking about. There aren’t many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema Picture Quote #1
