Quotes[]
- "How one handles success or failure is determined by their early childhood."
- "Films are big hits when they touch a lot of people. Things are not funny in a vacuum, they're funny because we respond to some personal dislocation, some embarrassment, some humiliation, some pain we've suffered, or some desire we have."
- "Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone."
