If No Producer, No Movie.

My Philosophy Is Very Simple. To Feel Young, You Must Work As Long As You Can.

To Me The Only Real Star Of The Movie Is The Writer. And I Work With Writers Very Closely, From Outline To First Draft And On To The Seventh Draft, Whatever It Takes. Then My Job Is To Support The Director To Make The Best Movie We Can. Some Producers Try To Go Past Them, But My Job Is To Support Them.

The Audience Wants To Be Attracted Not By The Critics, But By A Great Story. You Must Deliver To The Audience Emotion - And When I Say Emotion, I Mean Suspense, Drama, Love.

When I Cook, My Brain Stops Completely.

I've Been Very Lucky In My Long Life. On Three Continents, In Diverse Cultures, Through Happy Moments, Not-so-happy Moments, And Moments As Marvelous As This One, I've Had The Privilege Of Working With The Cinema's Greatest Masters.
