children growing-up people
I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.
love rain boat
When did Noah build the boat? - Before the rain.
art thinking sea
The world around us is in a sea change, and I think the glory of art is that it cannot only survive change, it can lead it
thinking film
I think Hollywood... well, there is no Hollywood anymore so let's just call it the mainstream since the business is no longer Hollywood producing its own films and then distributing, they just distribute.
horse dad moving
The way I deal with arthritis is to keep moving. As long as I can play hard tennis, as long as I can ski or ride a horse - all kinds of things can come your way. As long as you can, do it. People who retire die. My dad retired and died shortly after. Just keep moving.
truth lying reality
What is it with you people? You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth?
long beverly-hills los-angeles
If you stay in Beverly Hills too long, you become a Mercedes.
issues challenges climate
If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. There's no other way. Other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgence and persistance it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.
differences guilt way
All my life I've been dogged by guilt because I feel there is this difference between the way I look and the way I feel inside.
men people focus
The big moment for me was making 'All the President's Men'. It was not about Watergate or President Nixon. I wanted to focus on something I thought not many people knew about: How do journalists get the story?
animal rights long
The way you really find out about the performer's seriousness about the cause is how long they stay with it when the spotlight gets turned off. You see a lot of celebrities switch gears. They go from the environment to animal rights to obesity or whatever. That I don't have a lot of respect for.
down-and firsts hollywood
Times change; Hollywood is not the same as it was when I first entered the business. It felt to me like it was starting to narrow down and centralize itself around what would... make money.
thinking
I don't think you can ever return, really.
reality thinking long
Usually I like to improvise. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the piece, I like to improvise because I think it brings certain freshness and a reality to it, as long as it doesn't go too far out of the box.
