commitment want directors
I always wanted to direct. Directing is a lot more of a commitment though, a lot more time. I like directors who do very few takes, they know what they want.
ideas bad-ideas
I got some bad ideas in my head.
new-york kids college
Everybody's in New York and, hopefully, my younger kids will go to college in New York and find something they want to do so they'll stay in the city
nice people fame
The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you.
drama character home
When you make a movie, everyone should leave their own personal problems at home. When they start bringing those to set, filming can be very difficult... You don't need any extra drama. Put the drama into the story, in the characters.

Things rarely turn out the way we want them to.

I mean, the actors that I admired were Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, an actress named Barbara Harris. And Greta Garbo. They were great actors.

As an actor, you use the things from yourself that you can apply to the character.
giving advice stressful
It's a very stressful thing, directing a movie. You have the budget, you have the schedule, you are in certain confines, and you have everybody giving you advice about what to do.
You don't have to rush to do anything.
