played sundance
My first movie, 'Heathers,' had played at the festival, so I had a little bit of a Sundance connection, but I didn't really know about the Labs.
dealing guy junior proven realized success terms
When I started 'Hudson Hawk,' I realized I was dealing with a strong-willed producer, a strong-willed actor, and, at times, a strong-willed studio, and I was the junior partner in all of this - the guy who hadn't proven anything in terms of box-office success.
amazing deal good great objective stocks
One objective of the Dow is to have a great deal of breadth. It's amazing for 30 stocks that it does such a good job.
favor good included people satirical sequel somebody territory
I'm all in favor of people - myself included - going into the same territory if there's something that can be done with it. But if somebody says, 'Make a sequel to 'Heathers',' I feel like, no, someone should make a good movie that's a dark, satirical comedy that has that sensibility.
age changed derives directly economy economy-and-economics finished goes industrial information jones lead left realize
It isn't as if there's no manufacturing left in the U.S. economy or the Dow Jones industrial average. As much as the Information Age has changed the U.S. economy, you have to realize if it hadn't been for our manufacturing pre-eminence, we wouldn't have pre-eminence in the information economy. It derives directly from the U.S. lead in computers, which goes back to our manufacturing base. I don't think manufacturing is finished by any means.
movies people trying
People always say, 'Why don't you make more movies like 'Heathers'?' And I say, 'I've been trying for 20 years.'
jokes unless
I think you make better jokes when you don't break logic for the joke, unless you make a movie just about jokes.
people
I can't make a choice to do a movie because people will go see it. People look at what a movie becomes and decide if they'll see it.
amazing chosen companies good simple stocks truth whether
Whether the Dow is at 11,000, 12,000, 25,000 -- the simple truth is that those companies are chosen to be a part of the Dow for a reason. It's amazing for 30 stocks that it does such a good job.
heads
I really like getting inside the heads of female characters. I think I can do that well, and I enjoy it.
arty
In the past, my aspirations were as arty as they could get, and I'm really embarrassed by it.
operate pressures
I just can't operate with any direct awareness of the pressures I might be under.
brought gets love proud
I love 'Heathers,' and I loved doing that movie. I'm very proud of it, so if it gets brought up, I'm happy.
discuss ebay encouraged meaning search shopping spend time
Not just do they look like they could be sisters, but they feel like they could be sisters. We've encouraged them to spend time together. Most of the time, I think they search on eBay and do shopping and discuss things that have no meaning to me whatsoever.
