I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.

I think all Nazis didn't see themselves as bad people. I've never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic.

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.

I don't like to think that maybe I'm just getting old. I'm not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I'm more interested in people and characters.

Look, I'm just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda.

Betrayal... is my favorite subject.

Obviously, In The Heat Of The Night was a landmark movie because the timing was perfect. It was in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement.

I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.

Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.

When you shoot a musical, you're shooting to lipsynch tracks, so we had to figure out our choreography and work out what we wanted to do with each number before we did it.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I would rather be an opportunist and float than go to the bottom with my principles around my neck.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I am at my best when I am scoring.

The Cold War was a war, and we won it.

Conformists die, but heretics live forever.

A woman friend! He that believes that weakness, Steers in a stormy night without a compass.

Revenge, we find, the abject pleasure of an abject mind.

Without great solitude no serious work is possible.

I don't jump in real life, why would I jump in a photo?

We are at a critical point where rapid change is forcing us to look not just to new ways of solving problems but to new problems to solve.
