I loved being in Close Encounters, just to watch Steven Spielberg working was exciting.

I think some of the special effects in Close Encounters hold up better than the new more expensive special effects is because they were better actually.

I have a 92 year old father whose doing beautifully who lives in Chicago and a sister and a nephew and a niece and I love coming back and try to do so fairly often.

I mean, the whole idea of movies was it was special to go to see; you went to a movie theater to see something that was magical and amazing, in a very special location.

If anyone would have been paying serious attention to my puppet shows, I would have been sent to therapy very young.

I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.

I produced and directed a movie a couple years ago that won some awards that Samuel Goldwyn released called 'The Last Good Time'. I wrote, produced and directed it, but I wasn't in it.

I was born on Wellington Avenue and my family that remains lives in the Lake Shore Drive area.

My family was loving... they were very supportive and very affectionate, and basically I could do what I wanted, and basically it wasn't anything dangerous, thank God.

Oh, I was completely hooked on movies and plays and theater from the time I was a day old; I was very, very early on in love with movies and I loved plays.

God, I'd love to do a big commercial movie that made a lot of money and whose plot was interesting too.

Put some muscle into it! Channel your inner Trent Reznor!

Life is for service.

Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.

The moon rose, an opalescent goddess tipping light from her harsh maternal scimitar.

A diagnosis is burden enough without being burdened by secrecy and shame.

If there was a god, I'd still have both nuts.

There's so much to explore! And personally, I don't know. It's such a crapshoot.

I still play hockey every now and then, and I still golf. But my biggest exercise is walking my big dog in the park every day.

I'm proud to be British but there is nothing patriotic about a lack of a plan as to what even would happen if we came out there's nothing patriotic about putting people's jobs at risk.

O God, impress upon me the value of time, and give regulation to all my thoughts and to all my movements.
