Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?

At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!

I've directed seven movies and know a thing or two about dealing with unexpected crises.

When I'm shooting a movie, I'm always in an invisible theater seat. I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.

It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.
