Waterworld was the best time of my life. It was physically demanding, but it was fun. I mean, you're in Hawaii for nine months shooting on the water every day.

It was great. I mean, it's a blast directing underwater stuff.

So then I started doing a lot of episodic TV, just car chases or helicopter chases or whatever.

No, in Lethal Weapon I was a taxi cab driver that Mel jumps in front of the taxi and pulls me out of the car and steals the taxi. Then I did some other indie driving for some of the car sequences.

Investing in early childhood nutrition is a surefire strategy. The returns are incredibly high.

Neither Goyl nor men lived long enough to understand that yesterday was born of tomorrow, just as tomorrow was born of yesterday.

It is high time that the women of Republican America should know how much the laws that govern them are like the slave laws ofthe South.

Every year, dads will dress up as Santa and try to surprise their kids by coming down the chimney, and every year, a dad gets stuck and dies.

It's too late. I've seen things...I've lost things you can't understand.
