The whole country was tied together by radio. We all experienced the same heroes and comedians and singers. They were giants.

I, interestingly, had dated a woman in the Eisenhower Administration briefly, and it was ironic to me 'cause I was trying to do toher what Eisenhower has been doing to the country for the last eight years.
country new-york thinking
Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.
country talking people
People are always talking about the dumbing down of the country.
country new-york ideas
When you travel around the country, you see what a tough town New York is: rude, competitive, a town where good, logical ideas are ignored in favor of unworkable ones. And yet, all these other towns are so dead and boring compared to New York.

Child molestation is a touchy subject... Read the papers! Half the country's doing it!

I like the film, and that's rare for me to say because I make films and I am almost invariably disappointed. When I saw ('Match Point'), I said, 'My God, it came out.' It surprised me. . . . So I am enjoying the experience because it happens so rarely for me.

I'm going to give my psychoanalyst one more year, then I'm going to Lourdes
advice cast gin improvise learnt
I let the cast improvise a lot, especially with the slang, where they would say 'g and t' for gin and tonic. I wouldn't say that. I would say 'dicey' when they would say 'dodgy.' I learnt a lot.

If my film makes one more person miserable, I've done my job
gained mistakes
I've gained no insight, no mellowing. I would make the same mistakes again.
