risk happens knows
You know what happens when you don't take a risk? Nothing.
people problem
You can't live up to what people expect. Nobody can. But I guess that's my problem, not theirs.
jobs fun stories
I like directing much better. It's more fun, that's all there is to it. It's essentially the same job, which is storytelling, but you have more control over the way you want to tell the story. It's a high. I love it.
men years granddaughter
I tell you what really turns my toes up: love scenes with 68-year-old men and actresses young enough to be their granddaughter.
children thinking bird
That's like asking you to pick your favorite child... I do however, think Bird on a Wire was one of my finest works. Oscar caliber.
serenity pieces littles
The thing we're all looking for is happiness, and if we achieve just a modicum of that or even a little piece of serenity even for five minutes a day, we're very lucky.
father worry too-much
My father told me very early on that it was a sin to worry too much.
brake smack happenings
It's all happening too fast. I've got to put the brakes on or I'll smack into something.
dog helping breaths
It freshens your breath and helps prevent tartar.
dad believe men
My dad taught me my faith, and I believe what he taught me. The man never lied to me in his life.
wise forever going-away
And, hey, I'm not under the illusion that everything's just going to be hunky-dory work wise forever. I've never been under that illusion. Things could go away tomorrow.
drama passion character
Well, if you look at the whole story, I mean there's only Jews and Romans in the story. I mean I just wanted to flesh that character out and make that a drama about the people around Christ when he was going through this passion.
crazy alive crazy-things
I did a lot of crazy things so I'm surprised to be alive.
thinking years drunk
It's said that I went into a rant, but I think it went on for about five words. I was drunk. It just turned into a big thing. I apologized profusely-not once but three times. So what's the problem? It's four years ago. Do I need to apologize again?
