- [March 2006] If you want a sense of what America is like, you will watch the Oscars.
- I was always more interested in the battlefield of human relationships. The relationship between people and their families is a connecting thread between all my features and television movies.
- To me, if you talk about the Directors Guild and leave out the point about trying to have one person reach the spirit of other people, then you're really missing the whole point of the Guild.
