My debut feature, 'The Baby-Sitters Club,' got good reviews and made good money for what it cost. But it took me six years to get to direct my second feature. I think a guy would have had another movie out the same year.

I'm an actor. I'm hired to play whatever it is they want me to play - if I'm lucky enough to be cast for the part - which seems to take a lot of luck these days.

As a producer and director, I've tried for years to get properties off the ground for girls, and I've been hitting a brick wall.

When I was a teenager, I loved photography and writing.

When one person's livelihood changes, it can impact an entire family, then a whole community.

No child, through her own will, can pull a mother out of her suffering, and as an adult, I have been very busy.

There's been a ham in every generation of our family.

As an actor ages north of 60, he tends to be in more father roles than anything else. It's generational. And it tends to be a relationship that fascinates people, the flawed relationships between parents and kids.
