My partner after Fred Freeman was Jerry Belson. And Jerry Belson, after I was doing so well writing situation comedy, said, this is not good enough. We got to create our own shows. I said, but we're very happy doing this. No, no, no, you got to get your own show. So he made me - and he and I created our own shows. And we actually - everything we created failed. "Hey, Landlord" was our first show - 99th in the ratings. But imagine this - it's a great reflection on the years.
I've used opera in a lot in my movies,
I was much surprised by how good an actress she is.
I think she's a find. She's got a shot. She's pretty, but she's not a sexpot. She can play a regular person in a film. And she's also very bright.

I think on the first day we get there everyone will have a peak at the Indian training session to see who's there.
This will be interesting to see if there's a place for a girl's coming-of-age story, ... These movies are always about losing your virginity! But we're taking a new approach.
We kept Offenbach's spirit, ... He did what we call shtick, and I kept that.
Religion has a good place and it has its good people.
It's a hard job. It means giving up some things, but on the other hand they keep saying you can have it all. You can't really have it all so easy. You can do a little of this and little of that.
It's the most dedicated group of artists I've ever met. I haven't heard from any of their agents. They don't want bigger trailers.
So they had deals. They all get a piece of the movie. It would cost a fortune.
Placido said I should try different things, ... So we came up with the idea of introducing the character of Offenbach into the opera to explain things and move the action along. They told me I couldn't change the music, but I could add my own interpretation to the book.
I didn't think some of the comedy was current enough to be funny today,
