Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I was a dummy in school.

A producer has to know all about everything from set-building to costumes to acting

Nobody's strong enough to stand up under a flood of weak material.

I'm no good with words but I'll find ways from time to time to show you how grateful I am.

Time scoots along pretty fast when you grow up.

Lost, so small amid that dark, hands grown cold, body image fading down corridors of television sky.

If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier.

We’re all beautiful. We all deserve attention.

I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has.

I've got a lot to prove to a lot of people, including myself.

It would be great to make a movie that had the style of a great '30's film.

There are managers so preoccupied with their e-mail messages that they never look up from their screens to see what's happening in the nondigital world

Acting is not talking, it's living off the other fellow!!!
