Some of the regrets I've had about my own career are things I have not done that I should have done. More than some of the things that I've done.

Good movies are what I wait my whole life for.

My father believed strongly, and taught me, that you can't let yourself get too high on a success or too low on a failure. In this volatile business, that's useful to know.

I vicariously lived the life of an independent producer from the time I was 4 years old.

Success demands singleness of purpose.

If you aren't learning, you are regressing, because more growth comes from failure than from success.

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

The more success you get, you start to be harder on yourself or more afraid of the looking glass. You have to learn to build a thicker skin because people are paying more attention.
