Daffy, of course, wants to go on the journey with him but the studio decides they want Daffy back, so Bugs and a young studio executive heroine have to go out and try to bring him back.

The dynamic is extremely similar to Gremlins and the hero is very similar, plus the small town atmosphere. It really is in a way the third Gremlins movie.

A lot of filmmakers from my generation were lucky enough to have their work more or less perpetuated by people who saw them originally on TV and on HBO and certainly on home video.

Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.

You don't paint pictures to put them in your attic. You want people to look at them.

You do form a cadre of people that you trust and who are good at their jobs and who know you and what your quirks and foibles are. It makes making movies very collegial and a lot more fun.

I mean, movies are all geared to be basically under 25, and they're all tentpoles, explosions, excitement and all that - they take advantage of the big screen, which is great.

I don't believe that you can judge the worth of a movie in the atmosphere in which it comes out the first time. There's just so many reasons why some pictures don't catch on.

Finding a writer who can write decent kids' dialog and finding kids that can act realistically and not 'cute' is an effort.

One of the things I've always tried to do is to inject myself as much as possible into the movie, so I feel like it's mine.

I really have to feel that I could make a difference in the movie, or I shouldn't be doing it.

I am so, so alive.

To prepare for the mountains develop mind, body, will and spirit as strong as a sword, soft as a pillow and fluid as water.

Like rain HOPE trickles little by little at a time so that life may spring up when you're parched.

You have to make an enemy a friend to conquer his or her evil intentions.

Wondering is positive illusion.

Shame is very painful to endure. For me it makes perfect sense that the character would kill herself.

I can be humbler than anyone.

But generally speaking, people weren't fired, art jobs were very hard to get, so something really calamitous had to happen to a person who was working there in order for you to find a space.

Don't worry if people think you're good. Make this your experience. And find out what makes you unique as an artist. You don't get the opportunity to do that as much in the real world.

Peace, which costs nothing, is attended with infinitely more advantage than any victory with all its expence.
